Treatment

Menopon gallinae (L.)—shaft louse

Ex Gallus gallus (domestic chicken): 1M, NC, Swain Co., Oconaluftee, Frontier Farm, 15 Jul. 2003, W. K. Reeves, L3092.

Like the previous species, this louse has an almost cosmopolitan distribution ( Emerson 1956, Durden 2002), but this appears to be the first record from the Park.
