Genus Ingrassiella Dubinin, 1949

The most morphologically distinctive character of the genus Ingrassiella , differing it from other genera of the subfamily Xolalginae , is the presence of long and narrow extensions arising backward from the posterolateral angles of the prodorsal shield. To date, this genus includes six species from the following hosts: Ingrassiella listrophoroides Dubinin, 1949 from Dendrocygna autumnalis (L.) and D. viduata (L.) ( Anseriformes : Anatidae ); I. acromiacantha Gaud, 1962 from Gerygone flavolateralis citrina Mayr ( Passeriformes : Acanthizidae ); I. crassipoda Gaud, 1970 from Myiagra caledonica Bonaparte ( Passeriformes : Monarchidae ); I. discigera Gaud, 1973 from T. iliacus L., Turdus pilaris L., T. viscivorus L., and Zoothera gurneyi (Hartlaub) ( Passeriformes : Turdidae ); I. calcarata Černý, 1975 from Turdus nudigenis Lafresnaye ( Passeriformes : Turdidae ); and I. spinosa ( Trouessart and Neumann, 1888) from Malurus cyanocephalus Quoy and Gaimard ( Passeriformes : Maluridae ).

Mc Clure & Ratanaworabhan (1973) reported 12 possible new species of the Ingrassiella on the birds from the families Turdidae , Muscicapidae and Timaliidae in Asia. Unfortunately these species have never been described.
