Damalinia thompsoni ( Bedford, 1936)

Bedford (1936) described Damalinia thompsoni based on females collected from the Sumatran serow ( Capricornis sumatraensis (Bechstein, 1799)) in Sumatra, Indonesia. Emerson (1964b) identified a male and females from the Formosan serow ( Capricornis swinhoei Gray, 1862 ) in Taiwan as D. thompsoni , but the male from the type host was still unknown ( Emerson, 1964b). Capricornis sumatraensis is distributed from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, and is listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ( Phan et al. 2020). However, it is still possible that D. thompsoni will be found in Malaysia.
