Published Taxon Remarks:
The host Acomys sp. was originally recorded as A. cahirinus from Kenya (Durden, 1991b: 338). We have not seen the specimen but it cannot be A. cahirinus and is probably either A. kempi Dollman or A. ignitus Dollman (see Musser and Carleton, 1993: 565). [ex. Durden, L. A., Musser, G. G. 1994. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 218: 1-90]
Reference Title:
UNKNOWN
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).
