A brief survey is given of our past and present knowledge of the distribution of pocket gophers and their only mallophagan parasites (Trichodectes: Geomydoecus). Emphasis is then placed on the lice found on the Thomomys bottae-umbrinus gopher complex of the western and southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Recent extensive collections of Geomydoecus from over 90 of the 200-plus subspecies of these hosts have resulted in interesting geographical delineations of eight species of Geomydoecus, these not necessarily following what might be anticipated from the present host classification.

A study of over 3800 adult specimens of Geomydoecus, representing material from over 3/4 of the recognized species of pocket gophers, has resulted in the redescription of the 11 previously described Geomydoecus species as well as the description of 31 new species and 3 new subspecies. Keys are provided for the identification of these forms.

Proof copy: The new subgenera Thaelerius and Jamespattonius are described, respectively, for the eight species of Geomydoecus in the thomomyus complex of lice and the four species of Thomomydoecus in the wardi complex. Except for T. byersi Hellenthal \& Price from Thomomys bottae (Eydoux \& Gervais), these lice are restricted to the Thomomys talpoides (Richardson) complex of pocket gophers and are the only lice found on these hosts. A key is given for the identification of the currently recognized 122 taxa of pocket gopher lice.

Geomydoecus subcalifornicus is redescribed and illustrated; its known host range is 44 subspecies o f Thomomys bottae and 3 of T. umbrinus from U.S.A. (Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah) and Mexico (Baja California, Sonora). A new species, G. guadalupensis, is described from 5 subspecies of T. bottae (type-host : T. b. guadllupensis ) from U.S.A. (New Mexico, Texas) and Mexico (Coahuila). Quantitative characters of these lice, together with their host and locality data, were stored and evaluated by a computerized taxonomic analysis system. This was used to: define and identify tentative taxonomic groups; evaluate these groups for homogeneity; make comparisons among groups; and produce preliminary descriptions, lists of material examined, and host geographic range maps. Distinctions among tax a are shown using qualitative and quantitative characters and principal components analysis of quantitative characters.

Discriminant functions for 2 or 3 characters are provided in instances where they are shown to offer enhanced differentiation over single characters.
