Fannia prisca Stein, 1918 is newly recorded from peninsular Malaysia. This record is based on 4 male specimens from Mount Berembun, Brinchang, Cameron Highland, Pahang state, peninsular Malaysia. It is previously recorded from China, Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Bonin Island, Thailand and oriental region. The male of Fannia prisca can be differentiated from male Fannia scalaris by the following features: for F. prisca, mid-coxa without spine; mid-tibia normal or without stout triangular ventral projection; and hind tibia usually with 2 av, while F. scalaris has several stout hook-like spines on the anterior margin; mid-tibia with stout triangular ventral projection and hind tibia usually with 3 av. Both F. prisca and F. scalaris can be differentiated from Fannia leucosticta by looking at its hind tibia, which only has 1 av.

We report a case of 74-year-old lady, presented with recurrent jargon aphasia as simple partial status epilepticus (SPSE) which lasted for a few days to a few weeks, following a brain abscess removal from the left temporo-parieto-occipital region at the age of 71 years. The ictal activity on electroencephalogram was documented at left posterior quadrant, where marked hyperperfusion was clearly visualized by perfusion image acquired with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using pulsed arterial spin-labeling (PASL). Jargon aphasia as a primary feature of simple partial status epilepticus is so uncommon that only few cases have been reported. Furthermore, this report suggests that MRI using PASL is a promising method not only to localize the seizure foci but also to follow up the corresponding regional cerebral blood flow changes noninvasively.
