Austromenopon aegialitidis

Description

Austromenopon aegialitidis (Durrant, 1906)

Host: Charadrius dubius Scopoli, 1786.

Ref.: Straka (1987) as Actornithophilus perrarus Blagoveshtchensky, 1948.

Location: Kláštor pod Znievom, 17 Apr. 1981 (Straka Coll., AKMM).

Notes: There is single slide with two females of A. aegialitidis labelled as Actornithophilus perrarus in Straka’s collection. Straka (1987) reported these females as A. perrarus from Philomachus pugnax (Linnaeus, 1758), but host is given as “kulík riečny = Charadrius dubius on the available slide. It is in accordance with host-louse association, despite louse genus was misidentified, because acording to Emerson (1972: 19) A. perrarus is a junior synonym of Actornithophilus ochraceus (Nitzsch, 1818), a parasite that is known from 20 species of plovers of the genera Charadrius and Pluvialis. (Price et al. 2003: 84). This is the first record of Austromenopon aegialitidis from Slovakia.
