Abstract

Sixteen species of Holomenopon Eichler are recognized and discussed, and 10 species are illustrated. This includes 3 new species: H. acutae from Anas acuta, H. clauseni from Aix sponsa, and H. bucephalae from Bucephala albeola. There are 11 new synonymies: H. Ieucoxanthum (Burmeister) (= Menopon lunarium Rudow, M. albofasciatum Piaget, M. nyrocae Blagoveshtchensky, H. concii Eichler, H. dendrocygni Carriker, and H. hanslöhrli Eichler) ; H. tumidum (Piaget) ( = M. africanum Kellogg & Paine) ; and H. tadornae (Gervais) (= M. extraneum Piaget, M. eulasium Kellogg, H. museigottingense Eichler, and H. boetticheri Eichler). A neotype is designated for H. leucoxanthum. A key to the species is given.
