Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) species 4

Host. Arborophila gingica (Gmelin, 1789) —white-necklaced partridge.

Remarks. We examined a single female, which appears intermediate in head shape between R. (F.) formosanus and R. (F.) bracatus , but it is more similar to R. (F.) bracatus in the shape of the vulval margin, including the lateral lobes, which have 23–25 vms on each side, i.e. more than any specimen of R. (F.) bracatus examined. More specimens, in particular males, are needed to elucidate the identity of the Reticulipeurus from Arborophila gingica .

Specimen examined. 1♀, Southeast China, Nov. 1897, coll. R . Meinertzhagen , 3598, NHMUK010682698 About NHMUK ( NHML) .
