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).
