Hoplopleura pacifica ; Nur-Syazana et al. 2013: 3 . Type host: “ Rattus exulans hawaiiensis Stone, 1917 ” = Rattus exulans (Peale, 1848) —Polynesian rat. Malaysian hosts: Rattus argentiventer (Robinson & Kloss, 1916) , Rattus exulans , Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769) , Rattus rattus ( Linnaeus, 1758 ) , Rattus tiomanicus (Miller, 1900) . Malaysian localities: Pulau Jarak Island (Perak) Peninsular Malaysia ( Johnson 1964 ); Selangor , Peninsular Malaysia ( Johnson 1964 ); Sarawak , Malaysian Borneo ( Johnson 1972b ); Kuala Selangor Nature Park ( Selangor ) Peninsular Malaysia ( Chuluun et al . 2005 ); Chow Kit, Datuk Keramat, Jinjang, Kepong & Setapak ( Kuala Lumpur ) Peninsular Malaysia ( Paramasvaran et al. 2009 ); Carey Island ( Selangor ) Peninsular Malaysia ( Nur-Syazana et al. 2013 ); Serdang, Sepang, Rembau & Seremban, ( Negeri Sembilan ) Peninsular Malaysia ( Mohd-Said et al. 2014 ). Geographical distribution: Tropical, subtropical and temperate regions ( Durden & Musser 1994 ; Price & Graham 1997 ). Remarks: The adult male and female of Hoplopleura pacifica were described and partially illustrated by Ewing (1924) . Ferris (1932b) considered that Hoplopleura pacifica had no significant morphological differences from Hoplopleura oenomydis and, therefore, synonymised the former species under H. oenomydis . Considering their different hosts, Hopkins (1949) doubted that H. pacifica was a junior synonym of H. oenomydis . Later, based on a morphological and size analysis, Johnson (1964) resurrected H. pacifica as a valid species different from H. oenomydis . Voss (1966) designated, described and illustrated a lectotype for H. pacifica . In Malaysia , H. pacifica was collected in large numbers from several subspecies of Rattus rattus in the states of Negeri Sembilan , Selangor , Perak and Sarawak . In some localities, Hoplopleura pacifica has been recorded co-infesting rats with Polyplax spinulosa ( Chuluun et al. 2005 ; Paramasvaran et al. 2009 ; Nur-Syazana et al. 2013 ).
