Type material. — Holotype and 6 paratypes ex Rattus miilleri val- 

 idus (Miller), Malaya, Selangor, Sungei Buloh, August 8, 1930. 

 "Two specimens from Rattus edzvardsi ciliatus (Bonhote) taken at 

 Fraser's Hill, 4,500 feet, Pahang (A. K. Cosgrave), April 25, 1930, 

 are larger (length 0.43 mm.; breadth 0.34 mm.) and have the scutal 

 and body setae longer, but otherwise indistinguishable" (Gater, 1932). 

 Holotype and paratype in British Museum; paratypes in U. S. Na- 

 tional Museum; Moltens Institute, Cambridge; and King Edward 

 Vn College of Medicine, Singapore. 



Records and comment. — Five topotypes ex Tupaia glis (C.O.M. 

 R.U.) November 20, 1951. One specimen of the types series, col- 

 lected by Dr. Cosgrave, examined through the courtesy of Dr. J. R. 

 Audy, bears the designation of "cotype." This species is probably a 

 denizen of the primary forest, as suggested by the known host and 

 locality records and its absence in the well-studied scrub terrain.
