Cette espèce, seulement connue par un mâle, est décrite du Mont Kinabalu et est donc en sympatrie avec Macrostylophora borneensis (Jordan, 1926), teste Traub (1972). Elle se caractérise par l’absence de soies érigées sur le thorax et les premiers tergites abdominaux, la forme de ses segments terminaux et le phallosome. Macrostylophora kinabaluae a été trouvé sur le rongeur Sciuridae Callosciurus prevostii, répandu dans la plus grande partie de la sous-région malaise.
Abstract
This species, known only by a single male, is described from Mount Kinabalu and thus is recorded from the same area as Macrostylophora borneensis (Jordan, 1926), teste Traub (1972). It is distinguished from its congeneric and characterized by the absence of eriged setae on the thorax and first abdominal tergits, as well as by the shape of terminal segments and the phallosom. Macrostylophora kinabaluae was found to parasitize the Sciurid rodent Callosciurus prevostii that is widespread throughout most areas in the Malaysian subregion.
