Reticulipeurus ( Forcipurellus) species 4

Host. Arborophila gingica (Gmelin, 1789) —white-necklaced partridge.

Remarks. We examined a single female, which appears intermediate in head shape between R. ( F.) formosanus and R. ( F.) bracatus , but it is more similar to R. ( F.) bracatus in the shape of the vulval margin, including the lateral lobes, which have 23–25 vms on each side, i.e. more than any specimen of R. ( F.) bracatus examined. More specimens, in particular males, are needed to elucidate the identity of the Reticulipeurus from Arborophila gingica .

Specimen examined. 1♀, Southeast China, Nov. 1897, coll. R . Meinertzhagen , 3598, NHMUK010682698 About NHMUK ( NHML) .
