Damalinia thompsoni (Bedford, 1936)

Bedford (1936) described Damalinia thompsoni based on females collected from the Sumatran serow ( Capricornis sumatraensis (Bechstein, 1799)) in Sumatra, Indonesia. Emerson (1964b) identified a male and females from the Formosan serow ( Capricornis swinhoei Gray, 1862) in Taiwan as D. thompsoni, but the male from the type host was still unknown (Emerson, 1964b). Capricornis sumatraensis is distributed from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, and is listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (Phan et al. 2020). However, it is still possible that D. thompsoni will be found in Malaysia.
