Dermanyssus passerinus Berlese & Trouessart, 1889

Dermanyssus passerinus Berlese & Trouessart, 1889: 127 .

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 .
