Genus
Proaposolenidia
Mironov & Proctor, 2007
Type
species:
Proaposolenidia accipitris
Mironov & Proctor, 2007
, by original designation.
So far, only two species of
Proaposolenidia
have been described (
Mironov
et al
. 2007
), both from birds of the family
Accipitridae
:
P. accipitris
Mironov & Proctor, 2007
from
Accipiter cooperii
(Bonaparte, 1828)
, and
P. elanoides
Mironov & Proctor, 2007
from
Elanoides forficatus
(Linnaeus, 1758)
. Two new species are described below, and one more species is transferred from the genus
Hieracolichus
(see below discussion on
Hieracolichus
); thus, the genus
Proaposolenidia
currently includes five species.
