This species is a parasite of various geese and ducks, including domestic ones. Here, this is the first registration of A. spatulatum in Ukraine. In A. albifrons, the species was noted in the USA, Poland, Bulgaria, and Russia (Fedynich et al., 2005; Amundson et al., 2016; Czapliński, 1962 a; Petrova, 1987; Leonov, 1975).
