Genus
Ingrassia Oudemans, 1905
Notes.
The genus
Ingrassia
is the most specious genus within the subfamily
Ingrassiinae
, including 28 species up to now (
Gaud 1972
;
Vasyukova and Mironov 1991
;
Mironov and Proctor 2008
;
Stefan et al. 2013
). Representatives of the genus have been recorded on hosts from six orders of aquatic birds:
Anseriformes
,
Charadriiformes
,
Pelecaniformes
,
Podicipediformes
,
Procellariiformes
, and
Sphenisciformes
. Identification keys to species of
Ingrassia
are available only for those associated with birds in the order
Charadriiformes
in Africa (
Gaud 1972
) and northern Eurasia (
Vasyukova and Mironov 1991
). To date, only six species of the genus
Ingrassia
have been recorded from procellariiform birds (
Stefan et al. 2013
).
