Hoplopleura diaphora Johnson, 1964 View in CoL ; Durden & Musser 1994: 23.

Type host: “ Rattus bowersi View in CoL ” = Berylmys bowersi (Anderson, 1879) View in CoL —Bower’s white-toothed rat.

Malaysian host: Berylmys bowersi .

Malaysian localities: Ulu Langat Forest Reserve (Selangor) Peninsular Malaysia ( Johnson 1964, Johnson 1972a); Fraser’s Hill & Pine Tree Hill (Pahang) Peninsular Malaysia ( Johnson 1964); Mount Brinchang (Perak) Peninsular Malaysia ( Johnson 1964).

Geographical distribution: Peninsular Malaysia, Vietnam ( Durden & Musser 1994; Price & Graham 1997).

Remarks: The adult male and female of Hoplopleura diaphora were described and illustrated by Johnson (1964), and Johnson (1972a) described and illustrated all three nymphal stages, and also recorded this louse species from Vietnam. Hoplopleura diaphora is morphologically similar to H. kitti , and both are considered to be sibling species ( Johnson 1972a).
