Couala koaphila

)
.
New combination.
Type
host:
Coua caerulea
(Linnaeus, 1766)
—blue coua.
Type
locality:
Madagascar
.
Remarks.
We place the only species described in
Koanirmus
as a valid species of
Couala
. However, a proper redescription of the single female
holotype
of
Cl. koaphilus
or its comparison against
Cl. dodekopter
, is needed to establish whether or not these two species are separable.
