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).
