Name
Macrostylophora Hastriter & Bush, 2014 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Material examined
Philippines, Mindanao Island, village: San Antonio (09.0625°N, 125.6726°E), Mt. Hilong, 990 m, Bullimus bagobos Mearns ♀ (host # KUMNH-168368, NCA-179), 12 VI 2012, E. DiBlasi, 1♀ (parasite # P-5162) (BYUC).
Remarks
This is the first representative of the genus Macrostylophora recorded from the Philippines. This single female likely represents an undescribed species; however, without additional material, especially males, it would be premature to describe the species at this time. Few ceratophyllid genera are found in Southeast Asia and the Philippines is the periphery of the genus Macrostylophora. Additional collecting is badly needed to better delineate the geographic parameters of Macrostylophora and this potentially new species of interest.
