Pleochaetis exilis ( Jordan) View in CoL

Type host: Onychomys leucogaster from Powder River and Beaverhead Counties, Montana.

Deposition, host records, and locality: HWML 91991, O. leucogaster /Grama Grass 2012; HWML 92013, Pm. leucopus /Station Grounds 2013; HWML 92019, O. leucogaster /Ackley 2013; HWML 92028, O. leucogaster /Ackley 2013; HWML 101759, O. leucogaster /Grama Grass 2013; HWML 101792, 101793, and 92055, O. leucogaster /Grama Grass 2013.

Remarks: The primary host of P. exilis is the grasshopper mouse, O. leucogaster . It was the dominant flea collected from O. leucogaster in New Mexico, and is thought to be quite specific to the grasshopper mouse ( Pfaffenberger and de Bruin 1986).
