Type material. Ex P. plumosus , the Olivewinged Bulbul, holotype male, R. Panjang, MALAYA, 22 Dec. 1961, M00780. Paratypes, all ex P. plumosus in MALAYA: 1 male, 1 female, same as holotype; 27 males, 26 females, same except 1 Dec. 1961 22 Nov. 1962, M00568 to M01926 (22 collections).
Other material. Ex P. melanicterus (J. F. Gmelin) , the Blackcrested Bulbul, 9 males, 9 females, THAILAND (11 collections). Ex P. brunneus Blyth , the Redeyed Bulbul, 4 males, 2 females, MALAYA (3 collections). Ex P. s i m p l e x Lesson, the Creamvented Bulbul, 2 males, 2 females, MALAYA (3 collections).
Remarks. The shape of the genital sac sclerite and the large dimensions separate the male of this species from others of the group. The female apparently is inseparable from those of M. phillipsi and M. gieferi other than by host association, with those of M. plumosi being found only in Thailand and Malaya and those of the other 2 species found primarily in the Philippines.
