[A review of the mammalian Mallophaga of Europe].

The paper reviews the present knowledge of the Mallophaga of European mammals. 50 species and subspecies have been listed in a checklist and a host-parasite list. 32 of them are still found in Europe. There have been no records so far of 21 hosts listed as hypothetical mallophagian hosts. Eight extinct or exterminated forms of mammals in Europe are listed as hypothetical hosts of chewing louse.
