Remarks. – McClure et al. (1978) reported Leucocytozoon sp. in Aeg. tiphia from Palawan, India and Thailand. Records from other Irenidae include Leu. enriquesi de Mello, 1936 and Leu. chloropsidis de Mello, 1935 which were synonymised by Valkiunas [1997 (2005)] with Leu. fringillinarum Woodcock, 1910.
