Hoplopleura pectinata ( Cummings, 1913 ) ; Durden & Musser 1994: 32 . Type host: “ Epymis surifer Miller, 1900 ” = Maxomys surifer (Miller, 1900) —Red spiny rat. Malaysian hosts: Maxomys alticola (Thomas, 1888) ; Maxomys rajah (Thomas, 1894) , Maxomys whiteheadi (Thomas, 1894) , Niviventer cremoriventer (Miller, 1900) , Niviventer niviventer ( Hodgson , 1836 ) , Niviventer rapit (Bonhote, 1903) . Malaysian localities: States of Kedah , Pahang , Perak , Selangor & Terengganu , Peninsular Malaysia ( Johnson 1964 ); Gunung Kinabalu & Ranau ( Sabah ) Malaysian Borneo ( Johnson 1964 ); Kuala Selangor Nature Park ( Selangor ) Peninsular Malaysia ( Chuluun et al . 2005 ). Geographical distribution: Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia , Thailand ( Durden & Musser 1994 ; Price & Graham 1997 ). Remarks: The adult male and female of Hoplopleura pectinata were redescribed and illustrated by Ferris (1921) . Johnson (1972b) described and illustrated the second and third nymphal instars. The type locality of Hoplopleura pectinata was given as “Malay Peninsula: Biserat, Jalor” by Cummings (1913) and Ferris (1921) . Durden & Musser (1994) also stated Biserat, Jalor as being in “Peninsular Malaysia ”, but this is incorrect because Jalor is in Thailand . Johnson (1964) commented that most hosts of H. pectinata were likely natural, but there were also some “scattered specimens from other Rattus species ” due to contaminations. Notwithstanding the several species of Niviventer listed as hosts of many specimens of H. pectinata by Johnson (1964) , Durden & Musser (1994) only listed four species of Maxomys as “Principal hosts”, but none of Niviventer .
