Abstract
AbstractPelecitus galli n.sp. is described from the Malayan jungle fowl Gallus gallus spadiceus. It differs from other species of the genus in the size of the spicules, number and arrangement of caudal papillae in the male, and the relative position of the vulva. It is also the first species of Pelecitus described from the genus Gallus.Three types of microfilariae were seen in blood and lung smears of two jungle fowls trapped in Tasek Bera in Pahang State. One of these microfilariae is indisguishable from that described by Dissanaike (1963) from the Ceylon jungle fowl. One of the other two resembles the microfilaria of Pelecitus ceylonensis described from Ceylon (Dissanaike, 1967) and adults were found between the tendons at the bases of the legs of one of the jungle fowls examined.
