摘要

Subulura (Murisubulura) andersoni (Cobbold, 1876) is one of 20 species of the genus Subulura known from mammals and one of four species known from murid rodents across South Africa, India, southeast Asia, Japan, New Guinea and Australia. On re-evaluation of all the relevant literature and examination of specimens of S. (M.) andersoni and S. (M.) ortleppi Inglis, 1960, the following taxonomic decisions were made. Subulura (M.) ortleppi, S. (M.) sipirocki Purwanginsih, 2003 and S. (M.) suzukii Yagi & Kamiya, 1981 were placed as synonyms of S. (M.) andersoni based on morphological and morphometric evidence. Subulura hindi Mirza, 1936 was confirmed as a valid species and Latibuccana funambulenis Patwardhan, 1935 declared a species inquirendum. The type locality of S. (M.) andersoni was confirmed as northern India not Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Prevalence and locality data suggested that the focus of infection of S. (M.) andersoni was in the murine Bunomys chrysocomus (Hoffman) from Sulawesi, Indonesia with the geographic range extending to South Africa in the west and Australia in the east.
