Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) species 3

Host. Arborophila javanica (Gmelin, 1789) —chestnut-bellied partridge.

Remarks. We examined a single female, which appears to be most similar to that of R. (F.) formosanus . However, the preantennal head of this female is more broadly rounded, and the shape of the vulval margin (including the shape of the lateral lobes) appears to be different. More specimens, in particular males, are needed to elucidate the identity of the Reticulipeurus from Arborophila javanica . Lipeurus unicolor Piaget, 1880 —described from Arborophila javanica —has been placed in the genus Oxylipeurus by Clay (1938) and followed by Price et al. (2003). However, we regard it as a species of Megalipeurus following Gustafsson et al. (2020b) (see Table 2 View TABLE 2 ).
