【 摘 要 】

The fauna of chewing lice of raptors is poorly studied in Russia. In the present study, we addressed the fauna of chewing lice of raptors based on material from 22 species (Falconiformes, Strigiformes) collected in the vicinity of Rostov-on-Don in 2001–2017. Birds were examined either during the virological examination with official permits, or birds died on highways and in collisions with aircrafts at the Rostov-on-Don former airfield were used. Parasites were collected manually during visual examination of plumage and fixed in a 70%  ethanol. In total, 205  birds of were examined. Twenty one species of chewing lice are recorded, 10 of them are new for the fauna of Russia (Colpocephalum milvi Tendeiro, Restivo et Demartis, 1979, C. polonum (Eichler et Zlotorzycka, 1971), C.  subzerafae Tendeiro, 1988, C.  nanum Piaget, 1890, Craspedorrhynchus dilatatus (Rudow, 1869), C.  ranjhae Ansari, 1955, Degeeriella regalis (Giebel, 1866), Strigiphilus tulescovi Balát, 1958, S.  cursitans (Nitzsch, 1861), S. barbatus (Osborn, 1902)) and 15 species are new for the North-West Caucasus (Colpocephalum milvi, C. polonum, C.  subzerafae, C.  nanum Piaget, 1890, С.  flavescens (De Haan, 1829), Craspedorrhynchus dilatatus, C. platystomus (Burmeister, 1838), C. ranjhae, C. spathulatus (Giebel, 1874), Degeeriella nisus (Giebel, 1866), D.  regalis, Strigiphilus tulescovi, S. cursitans, S. barbatus, Falcolipeurus sulcifrons (Denny, 1842)). A case of temporal chewing lice transition from prey to raptor species of bird is registered. Several specimens of lice of the passerine birds specific genus Myrsidea Waterston, 1915 were found on the common kestrel Falco tinnunculus (Linnaeus, 1758).
