Treatment

Ex Glaucomys volans (southern flying squirrel): 3 F, NC, Haywood Co., Purchase Knob, 20 Oct. 2002, K. Walters, L 3036.

This louse parasitizes both northern and southern flying squirrels across much of North America including Tennessee ( Kim et al. 1986, Durden & Musser 1994, Durden et al. 1997 a). Our collection is the first recorded for this louse from North Carolina and the GSMNP.
