Extract

1. Syngamus parvus Chapin, 1925, S. gracilis Chapin, 1925, and S. merulae Baylis, 1926, are shown to be synonyms of S. trachea (Montagu, 1811). These conclusions are important in judging the epidemiology of the species.

2. The list of hosts has been critically revised and supplemented with two new hosts, Melanocorypha calandra and Larus canus.
