Haemogamasus mandshuricus sylvaticus Bregetova, 1949: 176, figs 13–15 (partim).
Type locality. Northern China (without exact locality).
Type specimens. The Vitzthum collection is kept in Zoologische Sammlung des Bayerischen Staates München (Germany).
Type host. Roborowski’s hamster, Phodopus roborowskii = Phodopus bedfordiae and Dipus sowerbyi.
Host range. This species occurs with multiple hosts including numerous rodent taxa of the genera Marmota, Ochotona, Spermophilus, Microtus, Cricetulus (Goncharova & Buyakova 1960).
Distribution. Northern and Central Palaearctic. This species is known from Eastern Europe (as Haemogamasus bregetovae Mrciak; see Mašán & Fend’a, 2010), Caucasus (Lopatina et al., 1991), and the Liaoning Province of China (Li, 1991). According to distributional data collected by Nikulina (2004), this mite is almost ubiquitous in Asiatic Russia, including the extreme north latitudes (Wrangel Island, lower course of the Kolhyma River).
Remarks. Sludsky (2014) listed Hg. mandschuricus among mite species able to harbour Yersinia pestis – the causative agent of the plague
