Brueelia cyclothorax (Burmeister, 1838)
Nirmus cyclothorax Burmeister, 1838: 429.
Nirmus subtilis Nitzsch [in Giebel], 1874: 137.
Bruëlia subtilis obligata Eichler, 1954: 63.
Type host: Passer montanus montanus (Linnaeus, 1758) —tree sparrow.
Type locality: None given, probably Germany, given that Nitzsch’s collection was from Germany.

Our South African samples have been compared with other specimens of Brueelia cyclothorax from Europe, North America, and Asia and found to be conspecific. This is the first record of B. cyclothorax from South Africa (Gustafsson et al. 2019a); Brueelia cyclothorax will be redescribed elsewhere (D. R.G. in prep.).
