Fallisia siamense Telford, 1986 | |
Fallisia siamense is a parasite in the family Garniidae.
The parasite was first described by Telford in 1986. [1]
This species is found in Thailand.
Not known.
The only known host for this species is the flying lizard Draco maculatus .
Draco is a genus of agamid lizards that are also known as flying lizards, flying dragons or gliding lizards. These lizards are capable of gliding flight via membranes that may be extended to create wings (patagia), formed by an enlarged set of ribs. They are arboreal insectivores.
Draco volans, also commonly known as the common flying dragon, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to Southeast Asia. Like other members of genus Draco, this species has the ability to glide using winglike lateral extensions of skin called patagia.
Draco blanfordii, commonly known as Blanford's flying dragon, Blanford’s flying lizard, or Blanford's gliding lizard, is a species of "flying" lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to Asia, and is capable of gliding from tree to tree.
Draco dussumieri, also known commonly as the Indian flying lizard, the southern flying lizard, and the Western Ghats flying lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is capable of gliding from tree to tree. It is found principally in the Western Ghats and some other hill forests of Southern India. It is almost completely arboreal, found on trees in forests and adjoining palm plantations where it climbs trees to forage for insects and glides to adjoining trees by expanding the patagium, loose skin on the sides of the body which is supported by elongated ribs to act as wings. The skin on the sides of the neck is also extended to the sides using the hyoid bones of the tongue as support. During the breeding season males maintain small territories which they defend from other males while courting females. The male has a more colourful patagium than the female, and it prominently extends its yellow dewlap forward in display. Although living almost its entire life in trees, the female descends to the ground to lay eggs in soil. This is the species with the westernmost distribution within the genus Draco, the majority of species occurring in Southeast Asia.
Draco maculatus, commonly known as the spotted flying dragon or spotted gliding lizard, is a species of agamid flying lizard endemic to Southeast Asia. It is capable of gliding from tree to tree.
Plasmodium minasense is a parasite of the genus Plasmodium subgenus Carinamoeba.
Plasmodium sasai is a parasite of the genus Plasmodium subgenus Sauramoeba.
Plasmodium draconis is a species of apicomplexan parasite in the family Plasmodiidae.
Plasmodium volans is a parasite of the genus Plasmodium subgenus Carinamoeba.
A flying lizard is a gliding lizard of genus Draco.
Plasmodium lionatum is a species of apicomplexan parasite in the family Plasmodiidae. Like all Plasmodium species P. lionatum has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are lizards.
Plasmodium vastator is a species of apicomplexan parasite in the family Plasmodiidae. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are reptiles.
Fallisia is a genus of the family Plasmodiidae.
Haemosporidiasina (Haemosporidia) is a subclass of apicomplexans described by Jacques Euzéby in 1988. The taxon is very similar to Aconoidasida.
Draco taeniopterus, the Thai flying dragon, barred flying dragon, or barred gliding lizard, is a species of agamid lizard. It is found in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia.
Draco fimbriatus, the fringed flying dragon or crested gliding lizard, is a species of agamid lizard. It is found in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
Draco maximus, the great flying dragon or giant gliding lizard, is a species of agamid lizard. It is found in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Draco quinquefasciatus, the five-lined flying dragon or five-banded gliding lizard, is a species of agamid lizard. It is found in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
