Damalinia muntiaca ( Séguy, 1948)

The detailed type locality of Damalinia muntiaca is uncertain, as Séguy (1948) wrote that the type specimens were from a captive red muntjac ( Muntiacus muntjak (Zimmermann, 1780)) originally from “d’Indo-Malaise” (= Indo-Malaya). The red muntjac is distributed in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, where it has been listed as a non-endangered species by the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks ( PERHILITAN 2010, 2017). Hence, it is possible that D. muntiaca occurs in Malaysia.
