| Abstract: | The genus Werneckiella parasitic on the horses, asses and zebras (Perissodactyla: Equidae) and the barbary sheep (Arctiodactyla: Caprinae) is described for the first time. Six species are described including one new species, zebrae from Hartmann mountain zebra , and occellata, a species of hitherto uncertain validity; three new synonyms and three new combinations are recognised. A species key is provided and there is a host-parasite discussion. |
