To observe three species of Kalicephalus found in three species of snake (Ophiophagus hannah, Ptyas mucosus, and Naja Sputatrix) during research on Capture Snake for Trading in Java and Snake Biodiversity in Kalimantan Islands.
Specimens for light microscopy examination were fixed with warm 70% alcohol, cleared and mounted in lactophenol for wet mounting. Drawings were made with the aid of a drawing tube attached to a Nikon compound microscope. Measurements were given in micrometers (µ) as the average of findings, followed by the range in parentheses, unless otherwise stated.
Kalicephalus (Costatus) indicus was found from 7 Ptyas mucosus, Kalicephalus bungari from 2 Naja sputatrix and 1 Kalicephalus (Costatus) indicus and Kalicephalus assimilis found from 1 Ophiophagus hannah. The morphology and measurement of three species of Kalicephalus found in this study were close to those described before.
New finding of host of Kalicephalus (Costatus) indicus and Kalicephalus bungari was a snake species of Naja sputatrix. New records of locality were Kalimantan island as the new locality of Kalicephalus assimilis, and Java island was new locality of Kalicephalus (Costatus) indicus.
在爪哇岛捕捉交易蛇类及加里曼丹岛蛇类生物多样性研究过程中，观察在三种蛇（眼镜王蛇、滑鼠蛇和黑曼巴蛇）体内发现的三种卡利头属寄生虫。
用于光学显微镜检查的标本用温热的70%酒精固定，经透明处理后封片于乳酸酚中进行湿封片。借助连接在尼康复式显微镜上的绘图管进行绘图。除非另有说明，测量值以微米（µ）为单位，表示为观察结果的平均值，后面括号内为范围。
在7条滑鼠蛇体内发现印度卡利头线虫（有肋卡利头线虫），在2条黑曼巴蛇体内发现孟加拉卡利头线虫以及1条印度卡利头线虫（有肋卡利头线虫），在1条眼镜王蛇体内发现相似卡利头线虫。本研究中发现的三种卡利头属寄生虫的形态和测量值与之前描述的相近。
印度卡利头线虫（有肋卡利头线虫）和孟加拉卡利头线虫宿主的新发现是黑曼巴蛇这一蛇种。产地的新记录是加里曼丹岛为相似卡利头线虫的新产地，爪哇岛为印度卡利头线虫（有肋卡利头线虫）的新产地。
