Lagopoecus tetrastei Bechet, 1963 View in CoL

Host: Tetrastes bonasia ( Linnaeus, 1758) .

Ref.: Balát (1977); this paper.

Location: Slovakia ( Balát 1977); Blatnica , 4 May 1979 (Straka Coll., AKMM) .

Notes: Balát (1977) recorded this species from Slovakia without a host association. Considering that Tetrastes bonasia is the type and only host of Lagopoecus tetrastei (see Price et al. 2003: 194), we assume that this is the host of Balát’s record. Furthermore, the Straka Collection includes slide with L. tetrastei . Therefore, we can confirm that this is a valid host-louse association for Slovakia.
