Holotype

RMCA 76149.

Material revised

Holotype (not suitable for examination) and paratype (No. 76150, not suitable for examination), 47 specimens including 9 nymphs, not designated as paratypes, and 86 more specimens labeled as “ Gahrliepia (Giroudia) breunani ” [sic], all from RMCA.

Distribution

Rwanda (Butare), DR Congo (Beni, Bukavu, Lwiro, Kabunga).

Hosts

Atilax paludinosus, Arvicanthis niloticus, Crocidura sp., Dasymys incomtus (type host), Lophuromys flavopunctatus, Mastomys natalensis, Mus triton, Oenomys hypoxanthus, Pelomys fallax, Stochomys longicaudatus.

Remarks

The name Gahrliepia (Giroudia) traubi was proposed after 1960 to fix secondary homonymy with Gahrliepia (Walchia) brennani Womersley, 1952 (Zumpt 1961; Taufflieb 1965b), but in modern systems the genus Walchia separates from Gahrliepia (Kudryashova 1998; Fernandes & Kulkarni 2003; Stekolnikov & Daniel 2012). Thus, Gahrliepia traubi is synonymized here with G. brennani (Jadin & Vercammen-Grandjean, 1952) according to ICZN Code (Art. 59.4). Both names, G. brennani (Jadin & Vercammen-Grandjean, 1952) and G. traubi (Audy et al., 1961), were used by Kolebinova & Vercammen-Grandjean (1978) simultaneously, without any discussion on their relation.

The deutonymph was described (Vercammen-Grandjean & Jadin 1956a).
