The genus was created by Mesnili.

Taxonomy

Adelea together with the genera Adelina and Ithania form the subfamily Ithaniinae. This subfamily was created in 1947 by Ludwig to accommodate these genera of eimeria that share certain morphological features and infect the digestive tracts of insects.[1] The genus Adelina was created by Hesse in 1911 because of morphological differences between the species.

Description

The species in this genus are parasitic on arthropods and have two sporozoites in each sporocyst.

During syngny, four microgametes associate with the macrogamete. One microgamete penetrates the macrogamete and the remaining three die off.

gollark: I mean, those apply to some narrowly defined things in physics, for limited definitions of "action" and such, but not in general so far as I can tell.
gollark: I don't think so, unless you really stretch the definition most of the time or claim it's metaphorical or something.
gollark: Like "colourless green ideas sleep furiously" and such.
gollark: It's just that stuff like "thought isnt action. so things that started as thought are just concepts in action, the action is still the same action as all other actions, push and pull." and "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" don't seem like... semantically meaningful sentences. I mean, they're... valid sentences, but don't look like they're actually conveying any true useful information.
gollark: Sure?
