Contributions toward a monograph of the sucking lice, Part IV, Stanford Univ. Publ. Univ. Ser., Biol. Sci.

4
Pages:
179 - 270
Published Taxon Remarks:
The host records from Kenya have to be left as Arvicanthis sp. At least two and possibly three species of Arvicanthis occur in Kenya (Musser and Carleton, 1993; 576); we cannot provide realistic identifications without examining the host voucher specimens. [ex. Durden, L. A., Musser, G. G. 1994. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 218: 1-90]
Reference Title:
Contributions towards a monograph of the sucking lice. Part IV
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).
