Dermanyssus passerinus Berlese & Trouessart, 1889: 127 View in CoL .

Published records. Malé Karpaty Mts.: 982 specimens., 10 November 1958, Trstín Village, Ficedula albicollis ; 3 specimens., ibid., Parus major ; 6 specimens., ibid., Sturnus vulgaris ; 56 specimens., ibid., Ficedula albicollis + Sturnus vulgaris ( Nosek & Lichard 1962) .

Remarks. As for the previous species, Dermanyssus passerinus is usually referred to as " incertae sedis " due to the inadequate description and damaged type material ( Evans & Till 1962; Moss 1978). The voucher specimens of Nosek & Lichard (1962) are presumably lost and not available for revision, therefore they cannot be taken into consideration. They are probably misidentified specimens of Dermanyssus hirundinis and/or D. carpathicus .
