Reticulipeurus formosanus [( Uchida, 1917)]; Kéler 1958: 327, figs 15, 33.

Type host. Arborophila crudigularis (Swinhoe, 1864) — Taiwan partridge.

Type locality. Mount Arisan , Nantou County, Taiwan .

Description. Preantennal head broadly rounded ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 3–8 ). Male scape longer than female ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 3–8 ), but not much wider and not otherwise modified; male flagellomere I with distal extension. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 3 View FIGURES 3–8 . Lateral margins of temples more or less parallel in male. Thoracic and abdominal segments and chaetotaxy as in Figs 1–2 View FIGURES 1–2 . Distal abdomen of male as in Fig. 42 View FIGURES 40–44 ; sternal plate VII apparently separate from subgenital plate; stylus short, spatulate; distal margin of segment XI only barely concave, lateral corners not extended distally. Male genitalia as in Figs 5–7 View FIGURES 3–8 . Distal rugosity of mesosome somewhat coarse. Ventral sclerite with slightly concave anterior margin and only one visible gpmes on each side. Gonopore does not approach distal margin of mesosome. Parameres slender, convergent, with slightly bulging heads; pst 1 in distal fourth of paramere. Female sternal plate VII may have median bulge on distal margin ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 3–8 ), but this is not clear due to poor sclerotisation. Median bulge of vulval margin pronounced, with 4–6 vss on each side; lateral lobes with 15–20 long, slender vms on each side. Lateral margin of claspers with 5–7 lateral setae on each side. Measurements as in Table 1 View TABLE 1 .

Non-type material examined: Ex Arborophila crudigularis : 5♀, Taiwan [as Formosa], Nov. 1898, coll. R . Meinertzhagen , 3595, NHMUK010682415 About NHMUK ( NHML) . 1♁, 1♀, Taiwan [as Formosa], Apr. 1912, no collector, 16, NHMUK010682414 About NHMUK ( NHML) .

Remarks. Price et al. (2003: 203) listed Arborophila brunneopectus (Blyth, 1855) and Arborophila cambodiana Delacour & Jabouille, 1928 as hosts of “ Oxylipeurus formosanus ”, citing Emerson & Elbel (1957) as a source for A. brunneopectus , but none for A. cambodiana . We have not examined any specimen from A. cambodiana , but our specimens examined from A. brunneopectus are not conspecific with R. (F.) formosanus (see below under Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) species 1). Therefore, these two hosts are not included here.
