Abstract:

In this part the genus Myrsidea as a whole and the characters of taxonomic importance for the separation of the species and species groups are discussed. Previous attempts to subdivide the genus are considered. The species parasitic on the avian subfamily Turdinae are revised, fifteeen known species are being re-described and five new species described. There is a key to the species groups and a list of the hosts and parasites.
