  1. aS. vernum, S. naturale and S. cryophilum are indistinguishable based on the sequenced cox1 fragment and are treated together as S. (N) vernum*
  2. bTypical hosts of the respective Leucocytozoon lineage are derived from the MalAvi database [24]. Probable hosts of lineages known only from dipteran vectors are derived from BLAST matches. The genetically closest lineage with known vertebrate host and sequence similarity are indicated in parentheses
