Luscinia cyane (Pallas) (Muscicapidae) View in CoL

Haemoproteus wenyoni Mello, Sa,

Sousa Dias & Noronha, 1916. (Table 7)

Locality. – Malaysia: Johor, 2003.

Type host. – Orthotomus sutorius ( India) .

Remarks. – The gametocytes extend alongside the erythrocyte nucleus, with a slight adherence. Compared with the mild nuclear displacement reported in the type material from the type displacement of the nucleus varies from extreme to negligible (NDR 0.27–1.0 in macrogametocyte and 0.11–0.75 in microgametocyte-infected cells). Both gametocytes otherwise conform with the type description and our description from a host congeneric to the type host ( Ort. sepium , see vide). The pigmented granules number 14–20 (20–23 in the type) and are round and of moderate size. It is noteworthy that H. wenyoni parasitizes bird hosts of the Families Sylviidae and Timaliidae (also regarded as a subfamily of Sylvidae ). Being found in a host of the family Muscicapidae may demonstrate a case of host switching (see Bensch et al., 2000).
