Ingrassiella Dubinin 1949

Description

Genus Ingrassiella Dubinin, 1949

The most morphologically distinctive character of the genus Ingrassiella, differing it from other genera of the subfamily Xolalginae, is the presence of long and narrow extensions arising backward from the posterolateral angles of the prodorsal shield. To date, this genus includes six species from the following hosts: Ingrassiella listrophoroides Dubinin, 1949 from Dendrocygna autumnalis (L.) and D. viduata (L.) (Anseriformes: Anatidae); I. acromiacantha Gaud, 1962 from Gerygone flavolateralis citrina Mayr (Passeriformes: Acanthizidae); I. crassipoda Gaud, 1970 from Myiagra caledonica Bonaparte (Passeriformes: Monarchidae); I. discigera Gaud, 1973 from T. iliacus L., Turdus pilaris L., T. viscivorus L., and Zoothera gurneyi (Hartlaub) (Passeriformes: Turdidae); I. calcarata Černý, 1975 from Turdus nudigenis Lafresnaye (Passeriformes: Turdidae); and I. spinosa (Trouessart and Neumann, 1888) from Malurus cyanocephalus Quoy and Gaimard (Passeriformes: Maluridae).

Mc Clure & Ratanaworabhan (1973) reported 12 possible new species of the Ingrassiella on the birds from the families Turdidae, Muscicapidae and Timaliidae in Asia. Unfortunately these species have never been described.
