Material examined

MALAYSIA • 2 specs (juveniles, no strobilar anatomy); Selangor, University of Malaya’s Gombak Field Station ; 3.32° N, 101.77° E; 280–350 m a.s.l.; 30 Jul. 2010; MHNG-PLAT-120686 GoogleMaps .

Host

Pycnonotus brunneus Blyth, 1845 ( Passeriformes , Pycnonotidae ).

Remarks

The hook arrangement in two rows, as well as their triangular shape and epiphyses on both guard and handles, are reminiscent of the genus Biuterina . If confirmed, the combination of numerous (about 60 in number) and very small triangular hooks of same shape and size (about 14) in both rows, would be unique for this genus ( Georgiev & Mariaux 2007).
