Abstract
On the basis of field surveys and specimens preserved in laboratories, we provide additional records of Lipoptena fortisetosa and L. sikae. These included the first distributional records of L. fortisetosa from Yakushima, Japan and Jeju-do (Jeju Island), Korea. Lipoptena fortisetosa was collected from the sika deer Cervus nippon, human bodies, and the black-faced bunting Emberiza spodocephala. On the other hand, L. sikae was collected from C. nippon, human bodies, and the grey bunting E. variabilis. Lipoptena fortisetosa and L. sikae were collected from birds for the first time. Presumably, these cases are accidental host records.
