Description. – The gravid gametocytes extend throughout the erythrocyte length, grip the nucleus and fill the space between the nucleus and the erythrocyte margins. The macrogametocyte-infected erythrocytes (n = 3) are 12.8–14.3 × 5.9–6.6 in size with a 4.8–5.5 × 2.2–2.9 nucleus, and are lightly displaced (NDR = 0.60–0.77). The uninfected erythrocytes are 12.4 ± 0.57 × 7.3 ± 0.29 in size with a 5.7 ± 0.21 × 2.6 ± 0.14 nucleus. The macrogametocytes are 12.1–15.4 long (cross 11.4–12.5), 1.1–1.8 wide. The nucleus is median, large, 2.4–3.5 × 1.3–1.8 in size, while the pigment granules are round, number 13–20, and are medium-sized. The microgametocyte-infected erythrocytes (n = 3) are 11.9–14.4 × 5.1–6.6 in size, while the 5.1–5.5 × 2.2–2.6 nucleus is very lightly displaced (NDR = 0.74–0.86). The microgametocytes are 15.4–16.5 (cross: 11.9–14.5) × 2.2–2.4 in size, with either numerous small or fewer (numbering 10–15) large pigment granules.
Remarks. – The gravid gametocytes are reminiscent of Hae. rhipiduris .
