Published Taxon Remarks:
For many years, Hoplopleura pacifica Ewing was treated as a synonym of H. oenomydis with the result that many records of Hoplopleura lice collected from domestic Rattus from around the world were incorrectly recorded as H. oenomydis. Johnson (1964, 1972c) Voss (1966) Durden (1990) and others have since verified that these lice represent two distinct species. [ex. Durden, L. A., Musser, G. G. 1994. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 218: 1-90]
