Type host. Tanysiptera galatea meyeri Salvadori, 1889 ( Coraciiformes : Alcedinidae ) – common paradisekingfisher

Remarks. We include an illustration of the male genitalia of this species ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 ) to facilitate comparisons with the other species treated here, especially E. persei . Additional measurements and illustrations of this species were provided by Emerson & Price 1978. Note, however, that in both sexes, there are 1–2 pairs of setae located between the setae of the posterior margin of the metasternum and the posterior margin of sternite II; these setae are missing in the original illustration (see Emerson & Price 1978: 107, fig. 1).
