Type host: “ Sciurus ferrugineus cinnamomeus ” = Callosciurus finlaysonii (Horsfield, 1823) View in CoL —Finlayson’s squirrel.

Malaysian host: Callosciurus nigrovittatus (Horsfield, 1824) .

Malaysian locality: Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia ( Johnson 1964).

Geographical distribution: Burma, India (Punjab), Malaysia, Nepal, People’s Republic of China (Yunnan Province), Thailand ( Durden & Musser 1994; Price & Graham 1997; Zuo et al. 2011).

Remarks: The adult male and female of Hoplopleura erismata were described by Ferris (1921), with illustrations of plates and male genitalia only. Besides the type host, other hosts of H. erismata include Callosciurus caniceps (Gray, 1842) , Callosciurus erythraeus (Pallas, 1779) , Callosciurus inornatus (Gray, 1867) and Callosciurus pygerythrus (Saint Hilaire, 1832) , all in the family Sciuridae ( Durden & Musser 1994) . Johnson (1964) noted that the record published by Ferris (1921) of H. erismata from the Asian striped squirrel ( Tamiops sp. ) was most likely a mechanical contamination between hosts, after the specimen arrived in the museum. However, Zuo et al. (2011) reported H. erismata from all 25 specimens of Tamiops swinhoei (Milne-Edwards, 1874) examined for lice in China.
