Gliricola porcelli (Schrank, 1781)

Pediculus porcelli Schrank, 1781: 500, pl. 1, fig. 1.

Distrito Federal: Cavia porcellus, no date, Instituto de Biología (Zavaleta 1946a). Yucatán: Dicotyles crassus, no date (Mukul-Yerves et al. 2014); Mazama pandora, (Mukul-Yerves et al. 2014) . Note: Zavaleta (1946a) described this louse as the new species Gliricola mexicana from Cavia porcellus . Records from the pecarí ( Dicotyles crassus) and the corzuela ( Mazama pandora) are most likely the result of contaminations because G. porcelli is a regular and natural parasite of rodent species of the genus Cavia (see Price et al. 2003).
