Trichodectes caprae Gurlt, 1843: 3, pl. 1, fig. 2.
Coahuila: Capra aegagrus hircus, Arteaga, no date; Buenavista, no date; La Angostura, no date; Saltillo, no date (Lozoya-Saldaña et al. 1986); Ovis orientalis aries, Buenavista, no date; Canis lupus familiaris, Arteaga, no date; Gallus gallus, Buenavista, no date; Meleagris sp., Buenavista, no date (Lozoya-Saldaña et al. 1986). Nuevo León: no host, no date (Quiroz-Martínez & Cantu 1995).
Notes: Records from Ovis orientalis aries, Canis lupus familiaris, Gallus gallus and Meleagris sp. are most likely the result of accidental contaminations, or phoretic transferrals by Melophagus ovinus (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) (Lozoya-Saldaña et al. 1986). Bovicola (Bovicola) caprae is exclusively parasitic on goats (Price et al. 2003).
