Abstract

Three new species of Ventilago from Malesia are described and illustrated here: V. crenata from New Guinea, V. ferruginea from Borneo, Singapore and Sumatra and V. flavovirens from Borneo. The morphology of V. dichotoma, V. ferruginea and V. flavovirens is compared, and a key to the Ventilago species of Borneo is presented. An IUCN conservation status assessment is given for each new species.
