Type material examined. Two female paratypes ( USNM) from Cynomys ludovicianus (Ord) (Sciuridae) , USA: from the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens, 28 March 1917, coll. F.D. Weidman.

Type deposition. Holotype is deposited in USNM.

Non-type material examined. One female ( USNM) from Cynomys sp. , USA: Nebraska, Hitchcock Co., 1–11 August 1950, coll. unknown; 1 female ( USNM) from Cynomys sp. USA: Texas, Dallam Co., October 1950, coll. unknown ; 1 female ( USNM) from Cynomys sp.
