Leptomonas W.S.Kent, 1880 |
| Species | |
Leptomonas is a genus of parasitic flagellate protist belonging to family Trypanosomatidae and subfamily Leishmaniinae sensu Maslov & Lukeš 2012. [1] It is a monoxenous parasite of mainly Hemiptera, Diptera, and Siphonaptera insects. [2]
In addition to Leptomonas, one-host trypanosomatids from insects have been traditionally placed in genera Crithidia, Blastocrithidia, Herpetomonas, Rhynchoidomonas, and Wallaceina. [3] [4]
Systematics
The etymology of the genus name Leptomonas derives from the two Ancient Greek words λεπτός (leptós), meaning "fine-grained, tiny", and μονάς (monás), meaning "alone, isolated" (as an adjective), or "a unit" (as a name). [5] [6]
There are 18 species of Leptomonas. [7] [8]
- Leptomonas agilis Chatton
- Leptomonas brasiliense (Franchini) França
- Leptomonas buetschlii W.S. Kent
- Leptomonas ciliatorum H.-D. Görtz & J. Dieckmann, 1987
- Leptomonas costoris Wallace, Todd & Rogers
- Leptomonas davidi Lafont
- Leptomonas gerridis (Patton) Berliner
- Leptomonas karyophilus Gillies & Hanson
- Leptomonas lata Skvortzov
- Leptomonas leptoglossi Hanson & McGhee
- Leptomonas lunulata Massart
- Leptomonas lygaei (Patton) Berliner
- Leptomonas melophagia (Flu) Berliner
- Leptomonas moramango
- Leptomonas mesnili Roubaud
- Leptomonas muscae-domesticae (Diesing) Senn
- Leptomonas pangoniae Rodhain, Pons, Vandenbranden & Bequaert
- Leptomonas pisciformis Skvortzov
- Leptomonas soudanensis Roubaud
