Fahrenholzia zacatecae Ferris View in CoL

Type host: Chaetodipus hispidus zacatecae Osgood, 1900 , Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico.

Deposition, host records, and locality: HWML 91984, C. hispidus /Grama Grass 2012; HWML 101678, C.hispidus /Grama Grass 2012; HWML 101682, C.hispidus /Grama Grass 2012.

Remarks: This species is a permanent associate with the Hispid Pocket Mouse, C. hispidus , and probably infests this host throughout its geographic range, including Mexico, Arizona, and Texas ( Kim et al. 1986). Light and Hafner (2007) report a vouchered C. hispidus infested with this louse species in Hidalgo County, Texas. In Oklahoma, however, Ellis (1955) reports Fahrenholzia tribulosa Ferris, 1922 , as the louse from C. hispidus .
