Remarks: The adult male and female of Hoplopleura malaysiana were described by Ferris (1921) . Johnson (1964) illustrated the male, the female, the paratergal plates and the male genitalia based on specimens collected from the type host and Sundamys muelleri . Johnson (1964) noted that there appeared to be a rigid host specificity between Hoplopleura malaysiana and L. sabanus .
