| Abstract: | The Ischnoceran genus Fulicoffula Clay and Meinertzhagen, 1938, is found in North America (north of Mexico) on hosts of the avian family Rallidae. F. longipila (Kellogg, 1896) found on the coot, Fulica americana Gmelin, is fairly common. F. comstocki Kellogg and Chapman, 1902) found on the Virginia Rail, Rallus limicola Vieillot; and F. gallinula Carriker, 1953, found on the Gallinula, Gallinula chloropus (Linnaeus), are apparently rare. The remaining known species are from hosts which do not occur in North America. Two new species found on the sora are here-with described and illustrated. |
