Abstract
Stellocaronema skrjabini is redescribed and the genus is revised. Stellocaronema indica Sharma, 1968 and S. aurangabadensis Ilyas, 1981 are regarded as synonyms of S. fausti (Li, 1934), and S. spinulosus (Molin, 1860) is considered a species inquirenda. The remaining two species regarded as valid are S. charadrii Mawson, 1968 and S. alii Naidu, 1978. In the present study, 7 of 24 species of waders (Charadriidae, Scolopacidae, and Recurvirostridae) examined were infected with S. skrjabini. Prevalences and intensities were unusually high in the marbled godwit (Limosa fedoa (L.)) suggesting that this wader plays an important role in the transmission of S. skrjabini.
