3.1.2. Platynosomum illiciens View in CoL
This species parasitizes birds and mammals from all continents except Antarctica according to morphological evidence (see Pinto et al. (2022)). Thus far, it has been unclear whether there exists a complex of closely related species or a single species that is globally distributed. Recently, identical CO1 sequences were reported from specimens collected from the domestic cat, Felis catus ( Pinto et al., 2018) , and the American kestrel, Falco sparverius ( Pinto et al., 2022) , both from Brazil.

The CO1 sequences reported here from specimens collected from Falco tinnunculus of European origin ( Fig. 1 View Fig ) were identical to those from Brazil. Therefore, molecular evidence supports both a broad host range and global distribution of P. illiciens .
