Host: Mergus merganser Linnaeus, 1758. Ref.: Balát (1977) as Anatoecus bipunctatus (Giebel, 1874). Location: Slovakia (Balát 1977). Notes: Balát (1977) recorded Anatoecus bipunctatus from Slovakia without a host association. Since Mergus merganser is the type host of A. bipunctatus (see Price et al. 2003: 144), we assume that Balát’s record was from this host. Price et al. (2003: 144) synonymised this species with Anatoecus icterodes, which was subsequently regarded as a junior synonym of Anatoecus dentatus by Grossi et al. (2014: 606).
