Abstract

We present a summarization of an overview of hippoboscid flies parasitizing bird hosts in Slovakia. Six new host associations are presented in this paper: Lipoptena fortisetosa Maa, 1965 collected on Certhia familiaris Linnaeus, 1758 and Sylvia atricapilla (Linnaeus, 1758), Ornithomya biloba Dufour, 1827 collected on S. atricapilla, Ornithomya chloropus (Bergroth, 1901) collected on Anthus trivialis (Linnaeus, 1758), and Ornithomya fringillina Curtis, 1836 collected on Phylloscopus collybita (Vieillot, 1817) and A. trivialis are recorded for the first time from Slovakia.
