Couala koaphilus Mey 2017
Description
Koanirmus koaphilus Mey, 2017
Koanirmus koaphilus Mey, 2017: 127, fig. 53, pl. VI: fig. 6.
Couala koaphila (Mey, 2017). New combination.
Type host: Coua caerulea (Linnaeus, 1766) —blue coua.
Type locality: Madagascar.
Remarks. We place the only species described in Koanirmus as a valid species of Couala. However, a proper redescription of the single female holotype of Cl. koaphilus or its comparison against Cl. dodekopter, is needed to establish whether or not these two species are separable.
