Comments. The morphological characters observed in the specimens agree with the original description and subsequent redescriptions given by Notarnicola (2005), i.e. buccal capsule with posterior 2/3 strongly cuticularized, external margins of walls irregularly crenate, spicules corresponding to the sigmodontis group of species and conspicuous cloacal papillae with 1 pair adcloacal and 5–6 asymmetrical pairs of postcloacal papillae.

This species was originally described by Notarnicola (2005) as a parasite of N. squamipes from the Reserva Natural UNLP Valle del Arroyo Cuña Pirú, Cainguás, Misiones, and of Oligoryzomys chacoensis (Myers & Carleton 1981) , Holochilus chacarius and Akodon azarae from Estancia La Marcela, El Colorado, Pirané, Formosa province and of Oligoryzomys fornesi (Massoia 1973) and H. chacarius from Selvas del Río de Oro, Libertador General San Martín, Chaco province, Argentina.
