Price and Graham 1997: 12 (citation). Price et al. 2003: 77 (checklist).

Distribution. BRAZIL (Bahia).

Host. Trinomys albispinus (Echimyidae).

Remarks. Although Cicchino and Castro (1990: 322) stated that the type series of this species is in the collection of MLPA, Abrahamovich et al. (2006) did not refer to it in either their list of Phthiraptera types housed in that institution, or in the list of types not found there.
