Menacanthus camelinus (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. : Published as part of Ošlejšková, Lucie, Krištofík, Ján, Trnka, Alfréd & Sychra, Oldřich, 2021, An annotated checklist of chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) from Slovakia, pp. 1-80 in Zootaxa 5069 (1) on page 29, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5069.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5712523 : {"references": ["Linnaeus, C. von (1758) Systema Naturae per regna tria naturae, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis.
