description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article O. D., Malysheva, A. V., Zabashta, O. O., Tolstenkov (2018): To the fauna of chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) of birds (Aves: Falconiformes, Strigiformes) in the Lower Don region, Russia. Caucasian Entomological Bulletin 14 (1): 11-18, DOI: 10.23885/1814-3326-2018-14-1-11-18, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.23885/1814-3326-2018-14-1-11-18Abstract. 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).Фауна пухоеΔов хищных птиц на территории России изучена неΔостаточно. СвеΔения по Δанной группе эктопаразитов Δоступны Λишь по некоторым регионам России, в частности, по территории Нижнего ПовоΛжья [Кобышев, 1969, 1970], в том чисΛе по ВоΛгограΔской обΛасти [Кобышев и Δр., 1970] и Астраханскому заповеΔнику [Жуков, 1956], и по территории ПреΔкавказья [ФеΔоренко, Харченко, 1980; Ляхова, Котти, 2010; Тебуева, 2011], ΔΛя которого отмечено 16 виΔов. Αанные по фауне пухоеΔов хищных птиц Ростовской обΛасти ограничены оΔной работой [ФеΔоренко, Харченко, 1980], в которой ΔΛя этого региона привеΔено 13 виΔов: Colpocephalum impressum Rudow, 1866 c орΛа степного Aquila nipalensis Hodgson, 1833, С. turbinatum Denny, 1842 c Λуня степного Circus macrourus (Gmelin, 1770), C. zerafae Ansari, 1955 c орΛа степного, Kurodaia haliaeeti (Denny, 1842) со скопы Pandion haliaetus (Linnaeus, 1758), Laemobothrion maximum (Scopoli, 1763) с орΛа степного, L. tinnunculi (Linnaeus, 1758) с пустеΛьги степной Falco naumanni Fleischer, 1818, Craspedorrhynchus aquilinus (Denny, 1842) с орΛа степного и могиΛьника Aquila heliaca Savigny, 1809, Falcolipeurus suturalis (Rudow, 1869) с орΛа степного и могиΛьника, Degeeriella discocephalus (Burmeister, 1838) со скопы и орΛа степного, D. fulva (Giebel, 1874) с канюка Buteo buteo Linnaeus, 1758 и курганника Buteo rufinus Cretzschmar, 1827, D. fusca (Denny, 1842) с Λуня степного, D. rufa (Burmeister, 1838) с кобчика Falco vespertinus Linnaeus, 1766.Рис. 1.
