Neohaematopinus batuanae Ferris, 1923

The type locality of Neohaematopinus batuanae was given by Ferris (1923) as “Batu Islands, Malaysia ”. However, the Batu Islands, located in the west coast of Sumatra, are currently under the Indonesian sovereignty, as clarified by Durden (1991). Considering that there have not been any additional records of this louse species from this country, more collections are needed to determine whether N. batuanae does occur in Malaysia.
