Heterodoxus spiniger
(
Enderlein, 1909
)
Menopon spiniger
Enderlein, 1909: 80
, pl. 8, figs 4–5.
Coahuila:
Canis lupus familiaris
, no date (
Lozoya-Saldaña
et al.
1986
);
Capra aegagrus hircus,
Buenavista (
Lozoya-Saldaña
et al.
1986
)
.
Distrito Federal:
Canis lupus familiaris

).
Tabasco:
Canis lupus familiaris

et al.

Note:
The record from the goat (
Capra aegagrus hircus
) is most likely the result of a contamination because
H. spiniger
is a regular and natural parasite of canids and marsupials only (see
Price
et al
. 2003
).
