 * Comment I don't think this is a hoax, as searching in Google Books actually does bring up some books published in the 1920's and 1930's that mention the parasite, as well as attributing the information to the authors that this article states, as seen here. However, as I am unable to find anything more recent mentioning it than 1938, its possible that the information on the parasite has become outdated, or that this particular name is no longer used for it.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 17:31, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Looks legitimate. I found a book published in 1966 that lists it (as a doubtful Malaria carrier)  and a mention that it is hosted by the Pangolin (which is a bit of info not in the article) .  Also saw several earlier books as noted above. MB 05:38, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep The species exists (that is, a description was published, and apparently nobody has synonymized it with another species). Apparent lack of sources seems to be a limitation of what's available on the internet (the original description isn't on the internet as far as I can tell, but is mentioned in another book from 1928). 17:56, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
