Bovicola caprae (Gurlt, 1843); Syamsul et al. 2020: 51, fig. 2A.

Type host: Capra hircus Linnaeus, 1758 —Domestic goat.

Type locality: Not given, but Emerson & Price (1975) noted it was in Europe.

Malaysian host: Capra hircus.

Malaysian localities: Bachok, Gua Musang, Jeli, Kota Bharu, Kuala Krai, Machang, Pasir Mas, Pasir Puteh, Tanah Merah, Tumpat (Kelantan) Peninsular Malaysia (Syamsul et al. 2020); Ayer Keroh (Melaka) Peninsular Malaysia (this paper); Kuantan (Pahang) Peninsular Malaysia (this paper); Chemor, Kuala Kangsar (Perak) Peninsular Malaysia (this paper), Shah Alam (Selangor) Peninsular Malaysia (this paper).

Geographical distribution: Worldwide except Antarctica.

Remarks: Although Bovicola caprae is well known for its worldwide distribution, studies of this species in Malaysia are scarce, particularly in Malaysian Borneo (Mustaffa-Babjee, 1969). Syamsul et al. (2020) collected and identified B. caprae from farmed goats in multiple districts in Kelantan. Here, we report several new records of this species in four states of Peninsular Malaysia, namely Melaka, Pahang, Perak and Selangor.
