Felicola rohani
Werneck, 1956
Werneck (1956)
described the adult male and female of
Felicola rohani
from the Indian grey mongoose
Herpestes edwardsii
(Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1818)
introduced into the island of
Mauritius
by human agency. The natural distribution of
H. edwardsii
is in the eastern part of
Saudi Arabia
and the Indian subcontinent (
Mudappa & Choudhury 2016
). Other host species for
F. rohani
include the Javan mongoose (
Herpestes javanicus
(Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1818))
and the crab-eating mongoose (
Herpestes urva
Hodgson, 1836
) (Price
et. al
. 2003). These two
Herpestes
species
are native in
Malaysia
(
Abdullah & Mammalian Research Group 2013
; PERHILITAN 2010, 2017), therefore we hypothesize that
F. rohani
occurs in
Malaysia
.
