Description

Hirstionyssus confucianus (Hirst, 1921)

Liponyssus berlesei Hirst, 1921a: 362, figs 8–9.

Liponyssus confucianus Hirst 1921b: 789, nom. nov. pro Liponyssus berlesei Hirst, 1921 non Canestrini, 1888.

Hirstionyssus confucianus — Fonseca 1948: 297; Bregetova 1956: 174, 187, figs 391, 392, 455; Lange 1958: 215, pl. LXXVIII (Г); Koroleva 1977: 135, figs 1 (1), 5(8); Nikulina 1987: 233, 234; Goncharova et al. 1991: 66.

Echinonyssus confucianus — Tenorio 1984: 265. Tenorio 1985: 5, figs 3–5.

Type locality: North China, “Yu-Lin-Fu, Shansi”.

Type series: NHMUK. The type secies includes the lectotype and 12 paralectotypes (7 females, 5 deutonymphs). The lectotype was designated by Tenorio (1984; for more details see Tenorio 1985).

Type host: Stated as “ Myospalax scansus ” = Eospalax cansus (Lyon 1907), the Gansu zokor (see Zhou & Zhou 2008 for details).

Host range: The species of the genus Myospalax (zokors) are the principal hosts of this mite (Tenorio 1985). In Siberia, H. confucianus is associated with the Daurian zokor, Myospalax aspalax Pallas, 1776 (Goncharova et al. 1991); occasional recordings of this parasite from the narrow-headed vole (M. gregalis), marmots, and the Siberian jerboa, Allactaga sibirica Foster, 1778, are known (Nikulina 2004).

Distribution: Far East. Found in some areas of Southern Siberia (Irkutsk Region, Transbaikalia) [Goncharova et al. 1991; Nikulina 2004].
