Abstract
Brugia tapaiae sp. n. from the lymphatic system of a Malaysian tree shrew (Tupaia glis) is described. This is the third species of Brugia reported from Malayan mammals and the first described from tupaioids. As compared with other species of Brugia, B. tupaiae is small and slender and has small copulatory spicules. The tail of the microfilaria lacks the constriction between the subterminal and terminal nuclei.
