Locality. – Malaysia: Cameron Highlands , Mar.2003. Found in two birds, one macrogametocyte in each bird .

Remarks. – Possibly conspecific to the above described is Leu. maccluri, Greiner, 1976 described from Zoo. marginata , Thailand (Chiang Mai), it contains both elongated and round forms. Round forms approximate in size the ones presently described and the host nucleus encloses over 50% of the gametocyte.
