Abstract
Forty Dippers Cinclus cinclus hibernicus were caught and deloused in southwest Ireland in 2003. Two species of lice (Mallophaga) were recorded; Philopterus cincli and Myrsidea franciscoloi. Both these species are known ectoparasites of the Dipper, yet these records were the first for Ireland. The incidence and infestation rates reported in this study were significantly greater than those recorded in Dippers from two studies in Wales and Germany.
