Description
Myrsidea ahmedalii Bughio et al., 2018
Myrsidea ahmedalii Bughio et al., 2018: 94.
Type host. Acridotheres tristis (Linnaeus, 1766) —common myna.
Type locality. Sindh Province, Pakistan.
Remarks. The lack of a detailed redescription of the type series of Myrsidea invadens (see above) makes it difficult to evaluate whether M. ahmedalii is a different species or a junior synonym. The original description of M. ahmedalii includes a comparison with M. invadens, but the characters used are not those found in the original description of M. invadens, so it is difficult to know what Bughio et al. (2018) actually examined to compare against their new species (Table 4). The correct status of Myrsidea ahmedalii will be known only when the type series of these two species can be compared with each other.
