Abstract
Ptilonyssus holmhanseni n. sp. is described and illustrated from a traffic-killed great tit (Parus major) in Eastern Denmark (Lejre) in April 2023. In addition, Rhinoecius brikinboricus Butenko, 1976, collected from a long-eared owl (Asio otus), is reported for the first time in Denmark and Western Europe.
