R e m a r k s. Proboscis of this species is armed with 30–34 longitudinal rows of hooks, 16–17 hooks in a row according to Petrochenko (1958) and Khokhlova (1986). Among them, the first 5–7 hooks are large, with well-developed roots. In the description of Dimitrova and Gibson (2005) which was based on the material from the Natural History Museum (London) from <i>Strix aluco</i> of the United Kingdom, 28–29 longitudinal rows of hooks were indicated, 14–15 hooks in a row, of which the first 4 hooks were large with developed roots. Our material is similar to the specimens described by Dimitrova and Gibson (2005). The species was described from birds of prey in Europe. It is recorded from birds of the genera <i>Accipiter</i>, <i>Buteo</i>, <i>Strix</i>, <i>Otus</i>, <i>Circus</i>, <i>Haliaetus</i>, <i>Milvus</i> in Europe and Asia. It is found in Ukraine in western marsh harrier <i>Circus aeruginosus</i> 1, common kestrel <i>Falco tinnunculus</i> 1, brown owl <i>Strix aluco</i> 2, ural owl <i>S. uralensis</i> 2 in Zakarpattya Region (Rahiv District — Luch, Lazeschina, V. Bychkov, Ch. Tysa, Tyachiv District — Kireshi), IvanoFrankivsk Region (Nadvornyansk District, Losva), Volyn Region (Lyubeshyv District, Nevir), Dnipropetrovsk Region (Pankovka) (Ivanitzky, 1940; Khohlova, 1986; Lisitsyna, 1993, 2008, 2014).
