Description
Hirstionyssus musculi (Johnston, 1849)
Dermanyssus musculi Johnston, 1849: 365.
Hirstionyssus musculi.— Strandtmann & Wharton, 1958: 105; Evans & Till, 1966: 279; Bhat et al., 1983: 101.
Collection records from India: Multiple localities, on Rattus rattoides, Apodemus flavicollis, Mus musculus, Alticola roylei (Rodentia: Muridae) (Bhat et al., 1983).
Notes: Bhat et al. (1983) reported Hirstionyssus musculi from India, based on information from Strandtmann & Wharton (1958). However, Evans & Till (1966) showed that there is considerable confusion about the identification of this species. It is not possible to know which species Bhat et al. (1983) referred to as Hirstionyssus musculi.
