Haemoproteus ilanpapernai Karadjian and Landau n. sp. from the Spotted Wood Owl, Strix seloputo, in Singapore is described from material from Ilan Paperna's collection of slides. The species was previously identified as Haemoproteus syrnii (Mayer, 1910). However, comparisons between the material from Strix seloputo and our own material from Strix aluco, the type host of H. syrnii, revealed morphological and molecular differences. H. ilanpapernai n. sp. differs morphologically from H. syrnii by the much smaller size of the gametocytes, the different position of the mature gametocytes in the erythrocyte (apical, subapical, or lateral in H. ilanpapernai vs. always lateral in H. syrnii), the effect on the erythrocyte nucleus (frequently tilted in H. ilanpapernai but not displaced laterally vs. straight and displaced laterally in H. syrnii) and characters of the pigment (aggregated in the gametocytes of H. ilanpapernai vs. dispersed in H. syrnii). A molecular analysis showed that the two species differ by 2.9% at the cyt b and 3.1% at the COI genes.
来自新加坡领角鸮（Strix seloputo）的伊兰帕佩尔氏血变原虫（Haemoproteus ilanpapernai）Karadjian和Landau新种，是根据伊兰·帕佩尔氏玻片标本收藏中的材料描述的。该物种先前被鉴定为西氏血变原虫（Haemoproteus syrnii，Mayer，1910）。然而，对来自领角鸮的材料与我们自己来自西氏血变原虫模式宿主灰林鸮（Strix aluco）的材料进行比较后，发现了形态和分子差异。伊兰帕佩尔氏血变原虫新种在形态上与西氏血变原虫的不同之处在于，配子体的尺寸小得多，成熟配子体在红细胞中的位置不同（伊兰帕佩尔氏血变原虫为顶端、亚顶端或侧面，而西氏血变原虫总是侧面），对红细胞核的影响不同（伊兰帕佩尔氏血变原虫的核常倾斜但不侧向移位，而西氏血变原虫的核直且侧向移位）以及色素特征不同（伊兰帕佩尔氏血变原虫的色素在配子体中聚集，而西氏血变原虫的色素分散）。分子分析表明，这两个物种在细胞色素b基因上相差2.9%，在细胞色素氧化酶亚基I基因上相差3.1%。
