Hoplopleura erismata Ferris, 1921 ; Durden & Musser 1994: 24 . Type host: “ Sciurus ferrugineus cinnamomeus ” = Callosciurus finlaysonii (Horsfield, 1823) —Finlayson’s squirrel. Malaysian host: Callosciurus nigrovittatus (Horsfield, 1824) . Malaysian locality: Selangor , Peninsular Malaysia ( Johnson 1964 ). Geographical distribution: Burma , India ( Punjab ), Malaysia , Nepal , People’s Republic of China ( Yunnan Province ), Thailand ( Durden & Musser 1994 ; Price & Graham 1997 ; Zuo et al. 2011 ). Remarks: The adult male and female of Hoplopleura erismata were described by Ferris (1921) , with illustrations of plates and male genitalia only. Besides the type host, other hosts of H. erismata include Callosciurus caniceps (Gray, 1842) , Callosciurus erythraeus (Pallas, 1779) , Callosciurus inornatus (Gray, 1867) and Callosciurus pygerythrus (Saint Hilaire, 1832) , all in the family Sciuridae ( Durden & Musser 1994 ) . Johnson (1964) noted that the record published by Ferris (1921) of H. erismata from the Asian striped squirrel ( Tamiops sp. ) was most likely a mechanical contamination between hosts, after the specimen arrived in the museum. However, Zuo et al. (2011) reported H. erismata from all 25 specimens of Tamiops swinhoei (Milne-Edwards, 1874) examined for lice in China .
