Abstract
The association of Carnus hemapterus Nitzsch with nestling birds was first reported in Europe in 1818 (Nitzsch, 1818, Mag. d. Ent. (Halle) 3: 261–316) and in North America in 1942 (Bequaert, 1942, Bull. Brooklyn Ent. Soc. 37: 140–49). Since then it has been collected from 7 additional localities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. A second species, Carnus orientalis, was reported from the fish owl in Malaya (Maa, 1968, Pacif. Ins. 10: 33–36).Keywords
