Philopterus troglodytis Fedorenko, 1986

Report. [1] FEDORENKO (1986: 5).

Host. Troglodytes troglodytes dauricus Dybowski & Taczanowski, 1884 – Russia: Khabarovsk Krai [1].

Note. There are also other records of lice from wrens that undoubtedly resulted from either contaminations from other birds or incorrect determinations. These are: Brueelia vulgata (Kellogg, 1896) recorded by BROWN & WILK (1944: 128) from Troglodytes aedon Vieillot, 1809 [ aedon group] from Alberta ( Canada); Degeeriella sp. recorded by PETERS (1936: 20) from Thryothorus ludovicianus ludovicianus (Latham, 1790) from South Carolina ( USA); and Degeeriella gulosa (Nitzsch, 1866) from Troglodytes troglodytes mentioned by SÉGUY (1944: 317) from Italy.

Furthermore, there are records of some species of wrens having been examined for lice but without any collected. For example, ENOUT (2009: 73) mentioned Cantorchilus leucotis (Lafresnaye, 1845) (6 birds examined) and Pheugopedius genibarbis (Swainson, 1838) (4 birds) from Brazil, while DIK et al. (2011: 569) mentioned one louse-negative Troglodytes troglodytes from Turkey.
