Treatment

Philopterus reguli ( Denny, 1842)

Material examined

Holotype

[ UNITED KINGDOM] • ♀; H. Denny leg.; ex Regulus regulus ; NHML NHMUK010710741 About NHMUK , ecat. 8192226.

Misidentified material

The following additional specimens deposited in NHML are designated as Ph. reguli but in fact they represent some other Ischnocerans not belonging to Philopterus complex:

Ex Troglodytes troglodytes ( Linnaeus, 1758) (labeled as Troglodytes vulgaris ): 1 ♂, collected in 1911 without further specification, other collecting data unknown, NHML NHMUK010646434 , ecat. 7988337 • 1 ♂; collected in 1914 without further specification, other collecting data unknown; NHML NHMUK010646435 About NHMUK , ecat. 7994159 • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; NHML NHMUK010646436 About NHMUK , ecat. 7996801 .

Hosts

Type host

Regulus aurocapillus = Regulus regulus regulus (Linnaeus, 1758) – probably it is a straggler from another host.

Distribution

Type locality

United Kingdom (without futher specification).

Other published locations

Ex Regulus regulus – Azerbaijan ( Blagoveshtchensky 1940 – as Ph. subflavescens ), Bulgaria ( Balat 1958), Czechia ( Balat 1977), Faroe Islands ( Palma & Jensen 2005), Finland ( Hackman 1994), France ( Seguy 1944), Germany ( Mey 2003), Hungary ( Vas et al. 2012b), Kyrgyzstan ( Kravtsova 1998), Poland ( Złotorzycka 1964, Złotorzycka & Lucińska 1976), Romania ( Bechet 1961), Tajikistan ( Blagoveshtchensky 1951 – as Ph. subflavescens ), Sweden ( Ash 1960), Turkey ( Dik et al. 2017), Ukraine ( Fedorenko 1987); Ex Regulus ignicapillus – Romania ( Negru 1958 and Adam & Sandor 2004).

Remarks

Because the name Ph. reguli appeared to belong to morphologically different species than is commonly found on the type host, it is possible that all the published locations actually refer to Ph. gustafssoni sp. nov. However, none of the above cited publications refers to any concrete specimen, so we are not able to track them and prove their determination.
