Menacanthus camelinus View in CoL (Nitzsch [in Giebel], 1874)

Host: Lanius excubitor Linnaeus, 1758 .

Ref.: Balát (1977); Hudec (1983); Szczykutowicz et al. (2006) as Lanicanthus camelinus .

Locations: Slovakia ( Balát 1977); NE Slovakia ( Szczykutowicz et al. 2006).

Notes: Balát (1977) recorded Menacanthus camelinus from Slovakia without a host association. Balát (1977) also mentioned Menacanthus brevidentatus —now a junior synonym of M. camelinus (see below). Considering that the name M. brevidentatus was traditionaly used for lice associated with Lanius minor only, and that Lanius excubitor is the type host of M. camelinus , we can assume that the host of Balát’s record is Lanius excubitor . Furthermore, Szczykutowicz et al. (2006) confirm this host-louse association for Slovakia.
