Gyropus setifer Ewing 1924

Description

Gyropus setifer (Ewing, 1924)

Tetragyropus setifer Ewing 1924: 22, fig. 10 (tenaculum femoral III, ventral view). Type locality: Ecuador, San Javier. Type host: Hoplomys gymnurus. Typology: Holotype female held by USNM.

Werneck 1934b: 281 (citation).

Gyropus setifer, Werneck 1936a: 427 (citation). Werneck 1948: 55 (redescription of female and male description), fig. 26 (female habitus, dorso-ventral view), fig. 27 (male habitus, dorso-ventral view), fig. 28 (female head, dorso-ventral view), fig. 29 (female terminalia, ventral view), fig. 30 (male genitalia, dorsal view), fig. 31 (detail of the genital sclerite, dorsal view), fig. 32 (detail of the mesomeral plate). Emerson 1966: 269 (checklist of Panama species and geographical distribution). Méndez 1967: 556, fig. 3 (male genitalia, dorsal view). Hopkins and Clay 1952: 161 (checklist). Emerson and Price 1981: 44 (host-parasite checklist). Price 1987: 216, fig. 22.4 (tibia and tarsus of posterior leg, from an immature form), fig. 22.19 (first nymphal stage habitus, dorso-ventral view). Cicchino and Castro 1990: 322 (checklist of Gyropus species on Echimyidae). Price et al. 2003: 77 (checklist).

Distribution. ECUADOR (Quito).

Hosts. Hoplomys gymnurus, + Proechimys semispinosus (Echimyidae).

Remarks. The record from P. semispinosus needs further investigation, as pointed out by Werneck (1948: 56). This doubtful record, althought rejected by Hopkins and Clay (1952: 162), has been accepted in subsequent checklists (Emerson and Price 1981: 44; Price et al. 2003: 77, 399).
