A new record for Turkish lice fauna: Dennyus hirundinis (Linnaeus, 1761) (Mallophaga: Menoponidae).
In this study, a bird louse Dennyus hirundinis was recorded for the first time from the swift, Apus apus living in Turkey. Since so little information is available on this rare species, the new record is briefly presented here.
