Hirstionyssus blanchardi asiaticus Senotrusova & Kapitonov 1970 : only in captions to figs 1 and 2 ( nomen nudum ). Echinonyssus blanchardi — Tenorio 1984: 263 ; Tenorio 1985: 3 , figs 1–2. Type locality : Europe , Alpine region . Type series: MNHN . The lectotype was designated by Tenorio (1985) . Type host: Marmota marmota Linnaeus, 1758 . Host range : Marmots, including the Altai marmot, Marmota baibacina Kastschenko, 1899 , and the bobak, M . bobac Müller, 1776 . Distribution : Europe and the southern part of North Asia ( Senotrusova & Kapitonov 1970 ; Tenorio 1985 ; Mašán & Fend’a 2010 ). In Asiatic Russia , H . blanchardi has been recorded chiefly from the mountain parts of Western Siberia ( Altai and Salair Mts.), where it parazitises the Altai marmots (Davydova & Nikolsky 1986). Koroleva (1977) mentioned a finding of this species in Novosibirsk Region . Notes: A new subspecies name, H . blanchardi asiaticus Senotrusova & Kapitonov, 1970 , was proposed for populations of this species inhabiting the central and eastern parts of Kazakhstan . According to Tenorio (1985) , it is a nomen nudum as the new name appeared in figure captions but nowhere in the text. This subspecies name is absent from Senotrusova’s later monograph ( Senotrusova 1987 ); possibly it means that the author rejected her own previous opinion and considered H . blanchardi as a monotypic species.
