Abstract
The haemoproteids of the avian family Threskiornithidae (ibises and spoonbills) are reviewed. Two species, Haemoproteus pelouroi Tendeiro, 1947 and H. plataleae de Mello, 1935 are considered to be valid; these two species are redescribed, illustrated, and compared with similar species in the Gruidae (cranes). Records of Haemoproteus in the ibises and spoonbills are summarized. Haemoproteus galatheae Laird and Laird, 1959 is rejected as a synonym of H. plataleae.
