Myonyssus dubinini. Bregetova, 1953: 315; Bregetova, 1956: 122, 127, figs 238–241; Lange, 1958: 206, pl. LXXIV, fig, K; Strandtmann & Wharton, 1958: 124; Strandtmann & Garrett, 1970: 262; Bregetova, 1977b: 487, fig. 385; Nikulina, 1987: 232, fig. 118, 4; Senotrusova, 1987: 140, fig. 68.

Myonyssus shibatai Asanuma 1951: 80.

Type locality. Primorye Region (Russian Far East).

Type hosts. Apodemus speciosus and Mustela nivalis L., 1766.

Principal hosts. M. dubinini has been recorded from a wide range of mammalian hosts, including voles (Myodes, Microtus), mice (Apodemus), sometimes shrews of the genus Sorex L., 1758 (Bregetova, 1956; Zemskaya, 1973; Nikulina, 2004). The species does not appear to demonstrate a pronounced host specificity.

Distribution. Asiatic Russia, Kazakhstan, Far East, including Japan and Manchuria (Strandtmann & Garrett, 1970; Senotrusova, 1987); recently reported from the Middle Volga region of European Russia (Korneev, 2003). In Siberia, M. dubinini was found in some localities in the southern part of Western Siberia, Republics of Yakutia and Buryatia in Eastern Siberia (Nikulina, 2004).
