Abstract
The avian order Strigiformes consists of two families, the Strigidae (136 species) and the Tytonidae (12 species). To date 13 species of haemoproteids (Haemosporina: Haemoproteidae) have been described from the Strigidae, whereas none has been described from the Tytonidae. Haemoproteus asio and H. otus are nomina nuda. Haemoproteus bubonis, H. aluci, and H. glaucidiumi are designated nomina dubia. Haemoproteus glaucidii partim, H. bramae, H. cellii partim, and H. nebraskensis are synonymized with H. noctuae. Haemoproteus glaucidii partim, H. cellii partim, H. multiparasitans, and H. aegyptius are synonymized with H. syrnii. Haemoproteus noctuae and H. syrnii are redescribed and neohapantotypes and paranaeohapantotypes are designated. Haemoproteus phodili n.sp. and Haemoproteus tytoni n.sp. are described from the Tytonidae.
