Locality. – Malaysia: Cameron Highlands , Sep.2002 and Jun.2003 .
Description. – In each was found one macrogametocyte 8.7 × 7 and 11.9 × 6.3 in size, and of a perimeter of 25.2 and 30.8, respectively. The host cell nuclei (23 and 29) enclose 92 and 93% of the plasmodium, respectively. The cytoplasm contains a few vacuoles and some granules.
Remarks. – The tight embracing by the host nucleus is reminiscent of the “ Leu. majoris ” -like Leucocytozoon (sp. 5) from species of Garrulax , another member of Timaliidae .
