Description

Hirstionyssus talpae Zemskaya, 1955

Hirstionyssus talpae Zemskaya 1955: 360, figs 780, 781.

Hirstionyssus talpae — Bregetova 1956: 184, 191, figs 429–431, 470, 471; Lange 1958: 216, pl. LXXVIII (И, К); Evans & Till 1966: 281, fig. 67, C-D, 68, 69, A-G; Herrin 1970: 411, figs 30–32; Senotrusova 1987: 89, fig. 42; Mašán & Fend’a 2010: 162, figs 172–177.

Hirstionyssus palustris Allred & Beck 1966: 19, figs 15, 131, 222, 261, 455, 463, 558, 605.

Echinonyssus talpae — Tenorio 1984: 278.

Type locality: No exact locality was stated. Zemskaya (1955) mentioned H. talpae from the Moscow Region of Russia and the Transcarpathian Region of Ukraine.

Type series: Unknown (possibly in EMAMS).

Type host: Talpa europaea Linnaeus, 1758, the European mole.

Host range: In Eurasia, the principal hosts of this mite are moles of the genus Talpa — T. europaea and T. altaica Nikol’sky, 1883 (Zemskaya 1973; Senotrusova 1987). It is very numerous in mole nests (Evans & Till 1966). In North America, the hosts of this species are the star-nosed mole [Condylura cristata (Linnaeus, 1758)] and many species of shrews belonging to different genera (Blarina Gray, 1838, Cryptotis Pomel, 1848, Sorex Linnaeus, 1758) [Whittaker et al. 2007]. In New Zealand, H. talpae has been recorded from the introduced Erinaeus europaeus (Linnaeus, 1758), the European hedgehog (Tenquist & Charleston 2001). Occasional findings of this parasite on different rodent hosts are known (Nikulina 2004; Mašán & Fend’a 2010).

Distribution: The range of H. talpae is very wide. This mite is known from the Holarctic as well as from very distant regions such as New Zealand (Herrin 1970; Tenorio 1984; Tenquist & Charleston 2001; Whitaker et al. 2007). In Asiatic Russia, the species has been recorded from Western and Eastern Siberia (Nikulina 2004); its occurrence in the Russian Far East is also probable.
