Menacanthus aeedonis Price, 1977

Reports. [1] PETERS (1936: 20); [2] BROWN & WILK (1944: 127); [3] PRICE (1977: 215).

Hosts. Thryomanes bewickii (Audubon, 1827) – Mexico [3], USA [3]; Troglodytes aedon Vieillot, 1809 [ aedon group] – Canada [3]: Alberta [2], USA: Maryland [3], New York [1, 3].

Remarks. PETERS (1936) and BROWN & WILK (1944) mentioned Menopon sp. and Menacanthus sp., respectively. In our opinion, these records refer most likely to M. aeedonis, but an examination of specimens is necessary to make a definite identification.
