Ciconiphilus pectiniventris ( Harrison, 1916)

Host: Anser brachyrhynchus Baillon, 1834 .

Ref.: Balát (1956) as Holomenopon sp. ; this paper.

Location: Svätojurský Šúr, 24 Oct. 1953 (Balát Coll., MMBC slide numbers 44/e/10, 44/e/11) .

Notes: Balát (1956) recorded Holomenopon sp. from this host.In the collection, there are two slides with Ciconiphilus pectiniventris from this host with the same data as in Balát (1956). We assume that Balát’s (1956) record was based on these lice, and that he determined them incorrectly as Holomenopon . This is the first record of Ciconiphilus pectiniventris from Slovakia.
