Treatment

Ex Tamiasciurus hudsonicus (red squirrel): TN, Sevier Co., Greenbrier, 2 Apr. 1931, R. L. Boke ( Durden et al. 1997a); 1F, TN, Sevier Co., Clingman’s Dome, 17 Jul. 2001, K. Walters, L3009.

The primary hosts of this louse are Tamiasciurus douglasii and T. hudsonicus in North America; but it is known to infest several other species of tree squirrels in Panama and Venezuela ( Durden & Musser 1994).
