Material examined. Location A: 7 larvae from Pellorneum ruficeps ( Passeriformes : Pellorneidae ), 1 February 2010; 5 larvae from Pellorneum ruficeps , 4 February 2010; 12 larvae from Turdus dissimilis ( Passeriformes : Turdidae ), 1 February 2010; 1 larva from Larvivora sibilans ( Passeriformes : Muscicapidae ), 3 February 2010.

Distribution and hosts. L. allosetum is reported from Apodemus agrarius (Pallas) ( Rodentia : Muridae ) in China ( Wang et al. 1981). We found L. allosetum in Vietnam for the first time. Pellorneum ruficeps and Larvivora sibilans are new hosts for this species.
