Type
host:
Chaetodipus hispidus zacatecae
Osgood, 1900

.

Remarks:
This species is a permanent associate with the Hispid Pocket Mouse,
C. hispidus
, and probably infests this host throughout its geographic range, including
Mexico
, Arizona, and Texas (
Kim et al. 1986
).
Light and Hafner (2007)
report a vouchered
C. hispidus
infested with this louse species in
Hidalgo
County, Texas. In Oklahoma, however,
Ellis (1955)
reports
Fahrenholzia tribulosa
Ferris, 1922
, as the louse from
C. hispidus
.
