Trichodectes pinguis euarctidos Hopkins

Ex Ursus americanus (black bear): 1F, TN, Sevier Co., Park Headquarters, 1999, L­2930. Few black bears in the Park have been examined for ectoparasites, but we assume that this bear­specific

louse ( Price et al. 2003) is common. This is the first record of this louse from the Park.
