Based on the entomological collection of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, MNCN (Madrid, Spain) and the literature, a total of 145 species of birds and 12 species of mammals that could be potential hosts of Mallophaga, are cited for Madrid. These species are potential hosts to 306 species of Mallophaga. Only 29 species of birds (20%) and 2 species of mammals (14,3%) have been searched for the presence of Mallophaga. These species could be potential hosts of 91 different Mallophaga species, but only 40 species (44%) are recorded. Each species present in Madrid is indicated with its the host, the material known and respective references.
