Notes: Hoffmann (1930) believed this species to occur in Puebla, in arid and semi-arid areas of central Mexico, and along the Pacific Coast, parasitizing humans, cattle, horses, donkeys, sheep, cats, dogs, deer and other mammals. Chavarría (1941) and Hoffmann & López-Campos (2000) mentioned that Ot. megnini is common and distributed throughout Mexico, where it is associated with humans and occurs in the ears of domestic animals.
