Extract

Among over 700 Australian birds dissected, Geopetitia spp. were found in three. These are described as new species, as follows: G. streperae from Strepera melanoptera, G. chibiae (female only) from Chibia bracteata, and G. falco (female only) from Falco longipennis.

Types of the new species will be deposited in the South Australian Museum. Paratype material of G. streperae will be in the Helminthological Collection of the Zoology Department of the University of Adelaide.

The three birds from which the Geopetitia spp. were taken were collected by ornithologists of the South Australian Museum, to whom I am most grateful.
