Polyplax sp.

Ex Ellobius tancrei Blasius (eastern mole vole) ( Cricetidae )—listed as Ellobius talpinus (Pallas) (northern mole vole) ( Cricetidae ) ( Kéler, 1967); collection locality: Bayan Olgii Province, Hovd Gol ( Kéler, 1967 [Nr. 958/61]).

Notes: This was almost certainly Polyplax ellobii (Sosnina) , but we have not been able to locate the specimens. Kéler (1967) listed the host as E. talpinus which included E. tancrei as a synonym at that time. However, E. tancrei has since been recognized as a separate species (Durden and Musser, 1994; Musser and Carleton, 2005). The species occurring in Mongolia is E. tancrei as discussed by Musser and Carleton (2005).
