Published Taxon Remarks:
This louse (as P. abscisa) was reported from Microtus montebelli (Milne-Edwards) in Japan by Suyemoto et al. (1954), Scanlon (1954), and Kaneko (1955); these are considered to represent erroneous records. [ex. Durden, L. A., Musser, G. G. 1994. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 218: 1-90]. Holotype male from Microtus sp. From Alaska (USNM 40159), in the National Museum of Natural History Collection, Washington, D.C. Type specimens of Polyplax abscisa Fahrenholz are presumably in the Fahrenholz Collection, Germany. [ex. Kim, K. C., Pratt, H. D., Stojanovich, C. J. 1986.
