Trichodectes canis

Trichodectes canis (De Geer, 1778) Ricinus canis De Geer, 1778: 81, pl. 4: fig. 16. Pediculus canis O. Fabricius, 1780: 215. Trichodectes latus Nitzsch, 1818: 296. Trichodectes octopunctatus Denny, 1852: 29. Unnecessary nomen novum for Trichodectes latus Nitzsch, 1818. Trichodectes Riveti [sic] Neumann, 1913: 614, figs 7–8. Trichodectes floridanus McGregor, 1917: 168, pl. 16: figs 3, 5. Trichodectes latifrons Fahrenholz, 1919: 363. Trichodectes canis (De Geer, 1778); Werneck 1948: 111. Trichodectes canis; Macadam et al. 1984: 37. Trichodectes canis (De Geer, 1778); Price et al. 2003: 274, fig. 264. Type host: Canis lupus familiaris Linnaeus, 1758 —Domestic dog. Type locality: Europe. Malaysian host: Canis lupus familiaris. Malaysian locality: Kota Kinabalu (Sabah) Malaysian Borneo (Macadam et al. 1984). Geographical distribution: Worldwide, except Antarctica. Remarks: Trichodectes canis is a prevalent parasite of dogs (Durden 2019), that also parasitises several other hosts (Price et al. 2003: 274). The only record of T. canis in Malaysia is from domestic dogs in multiple locations of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (Macadam et al. 1984). Whether T. canis in Malaysia is more prevalent on hosts in forest areas, as shown by Macadam et al. (1984), needs to be confirmed.
