Type host: Capra hircus angorensis (Shaw, 1800) —Angora goat. Type locality: Not given in the original description. Malaysian host: Capra hircus Linnaeus, 1758. Malaysian locality: “West Malaysia ”, Peninsular Malaysia (Mustaffa-Babjee 1969). Geographical distribution: Worldwide, except Antarctica. Remarks: Bovicola limbatus and B. caprae and both common parasites of goats (Durden, 2019) and morphologically similar. Sebei et al. (2004) separated the males of Bovicola limbatus and B. caprae by the morphology of their gonopods (e.g. presence of terminal flaps in B. caprae, but absent in B. limbatus). In Peninsular Malaysia, only one record of B. limbatus has been reported by Mustaffa-Babjee (1969); however, considering that there are no figures and no mention of genitalia or gonopods of the male, it is not possible determine with certainty the species that Mustaffa-Babjee (1969) examined. Further studies are needed to investigate the occurrence and prevalence of B. limbatus and B. caprae in Malaysia.
