TL;DRAbstract

The two haemoproteids parasitizing members of the avian family Laniidae are reviewed. Haemoproteus lanii de Mello, 1937 is re-described and a neohapantotype designated; H. lanii var. nucleophilus Helmy Mohammed, 1958 is considered to be the same as H. lanii and therefore the varietal (= subspecific) designation is suppressed; it is confirmed that H. lanuidae Yakunin, 1976 is declared a nomen nudum; Haemoproteus cublae Peirce, 1984 is re-described.
