Notes: Hoplopleura acanthopus parasitizes many species of voles across the Holarctic region (Durden and Musser, 1994). However, we report 2 new host associations for this louse in Mongolia —from M. gregalis and M. oeconomus. The collections of this louse from L. brandtii reported by Kéler (1967) were listed as ‘‘ Hoplopleura acanthopus ssp.’’ The following names are synonyms or former generic or subspecific assignments for this louse as documented by Durden and Musser (1994): Pediculus acanthopus Burmeister, 1839; Haematopinus acanthopus (Burmeister, 1839); Polyplax acanthopus (Burmeister, 1839); Hoplopleura acanthopus acanthopus (Burmeister, 1839); Polyplax villosa Galli-Valerio, 1905; Hoplopleura acanthopus var. americanus Kellogg and Ferris, 1915; Hoplopleura acanthopus var. aequidentis Fahrenholz, 1916; Hoplopleura acanthopus var. edentulus Fahrenholz, 1916 (partim); Hoplopleura fahrenholzi Eichler, 1952; Hoplopleura silesica Eichler, 1952.
