Description

Linognathoides urocitelli Durden, Robinson, Cook, McLean, Nyamsuren and Greiman, 2019

Ex Urocitellus undulatus (Pallas) (long-tailed ground squirrel) (Sciuridae).

Collection locations: Arhangai Province, Zurh Mountain; Huvsgul Province, Heegtsar River Valley; Bayan Olgii Province, Huljaa River Valley (Durden et al., 2019).

Notes: This louse is only known from Mongolia, but the host has a wider range in central Asia, encompassing parts of the Russian Federation (Siberia, Transbaikalia), Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China (Heilungjiang and Xinjiang) (Thorington and Hoffmann, 2005), so the louse is likely also more widespread.
