The taxonomic status of the haemoproteid parasites hitherto described from the avian genus Passer is reviewed. It is concluded that 1 species only is valid Haemoproteus passeris Kruse (1890), all other species being designated as synonyms. From material obtained from Passer domesticus a re-description is given of H. passeris which has shown to exhibit a wide range of morphological forms. The reasons for this are discussed. Schizogonic stages are described for the first time for this species, and evidence is presented which suggests that H. passeris does not belong to the sub-genus Parahaemoproteus. Schizogonic stages previously considered to be from Passer spp. probably originated from birds of another genus and family. H. passeris appears to be restricted to the avian genus Passer in which it has a world-wide distribution.
本文综述了迄今已描述的雀形目鸟类血变原虫寄生虫的分类地位。结论是，只有1个物种是有效的，即麻雀血变原虫（Haemoproteus passeris Kruse，1890年），所有其他物种均被指定为同义词。根据从家麻雀（Passer domesticus）获得的材料，对麻雀血变原虫进行了重新描述，该寄生虫表现出广泛的形态形式。文中讨论了出现这种情况的原因。首次描述了该物种的裂殖生殖阶段，并提供了证据表明麻雀血变原虫不属于副血变原虫亚属。以前认为来自雀形目鸟类的裂殖生殖阶段可能起源于另一个属和科的鸟类。麻雀血变原虫似乎仅限于雀形目鸟类，在该目鸟类中具有全球分布。
