Description
Summary:W. taxorchis (Johnston, 1917) Type host. This host was originally listed as Limosa novae-hollandiae by Johnston (1917). The identification of this bird could not be confirmed because we were not able to find a listing of this species from Australia. This godwit species may be the bar-tailed godwit, Limosa lapponica (Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae), but the black-tailed godwit, Limosa limosa (Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae), also is known from Australia. Allison (2001) reported W. taxorchis from a subspecies of bar-tailed godwit, Limosa lapponica baueri Naumann, from the South Island of New Zealand. Type locality. Lord Howe Island, off Australia. Additional hosts. Black-winged or common stilt, Himantopus himantopus (Linnaeus) (Syn. H. leucocephalus Gould) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae) and the common snipe, Gallinago gallinago (Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae)— Yamaguti (1958, 1971). Previously proposed synonyms.
