Notes: Macías-Valadez (1923) stated that this species is commonly associated with pigs. Hoffmann (1930) later noted that O. turicata can be associated with pigs, rodents, rats, tuzas ( Geomyidae ) and man. Hoffmann (1930) also stated that this species occurs in dry regions of central Mexico and along the west coast of the country. Chavarría (1941) confirmed the abundance of this species in central Mexico, but Mazzotti (1947) described a much broader geographical distribution, from Puebla to Mexico’s northern border. Hoffmann (1962) cited Chavarría (1935, 1936) and Mooser (1930) as stating that O. turicata occurs in Guanajuato, Puebla, and Jalisco; however, the three latter papers do not appear among Hoffmann’s references, but instead are in Cooley & Kohls (1944), whose names, localities and collection years are identical to those listed in Hoffmann (1962).
