Type host. Streptopelia chinensis ceylonensis (Reichenbach, 1851).
Remarks. The original description, based on a single female, gives few features to distinguish unequivocally. However, the combination of the head measurements (HL 0.26 and OW 0.28 mm) and cephalic index (OW/HL = 1.08) seems to be distinctive, although not conclusively different fom other described species.
