Hoplopleura setzeri Johnson, 1960

Authors:
Johnson, 1960
Journal:
U.S. Dep. Agric. Tech. Bull.
Published Taxon Remarks:
We have not seen the host specimen from which the type of Hoplopleura setzeri was obtained. Johnson recorded it as Rattus (Grammomys) dolichurus oblitus. That subspecies name is a synonym of Grammomys macmillani (Musser and Carleton, 1993: 594). Definitions of species in Grammomys are unclear; any systematic revision should include re-examination of the type host specimen of H. setzeri to determine its correct identity. [ex. Durden, L. A., Musser, G. G. 1994. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 218: 1-90]
Reference Title:

Taxon Citation Remarks:
Citation information points to the most recent interpretation of the taxon name (not the original, which is absent from the sucking louse checklist).
