louse transfer between predator and prey. Egri (1990) studied a horse stock infested by Wemeckiella equi equi. This is the only study on this species apart from textbook data (Kotlán and Kobulej 1972). MATERIALS AND METHODS The present paper lists the chewing louse species living on the wild and domestic mammalian species of Hungary and Central Europe. Lice collected from stuffed specimens and zoo animals are also included. Some of the species have not been collected yet in Hungary, though can reasonably be expected to occur. In the host-parasite list an asterisk signs the species already collected in Hungary. The chewing lice harboured by European host species are discussed in two monographs by Zlotorzycka (1972) and Zlotorzycka et al. (1974). The catalogue of Eichler and Zlotorzycka (1972) is also valuable. Catalogues for North America were completed by Emerson (1964a, 1964b) and for Asia by McClure and Ratanaworabhan (1973). The main resource of information is still the checklist of Hopkins and Clay (1952) with additions and corrections (Hopkins and Clay 1953,1955) and the fauna catalogue of Zlotorzycka and Modrzejewska (1988). The nomenclature of mammals follows that of Brink (1967). RESULTS Parasite - host relationship MALLOPHAGA Nitzsch, 1818 Amblycera Kellogg, 1896 Gyropoidea Kellogg, 1896 Gyropidae Kellogg, 1896 Gyropus Nitzsch, 1818 Gyropus ovalis Burmeister, 1838 - As a parasite of the domestic Guinea pig (Cavia porcellus L.) it is distributed world-wide. Also found on the wide form of this species and on other species of the Cavia genus in South America. Tends to occur on the neck of the host.
