The same species of sucking louse (Phthiraptera-Anoplura) from the Chilean abrocomid rodent Abrocoma bennetti Waterhouse, 1837 was recently described as Eulinognathus chilensis Gomez, 1998 and as Abrocomaphthirus hoplai Durden & Webb, 1999. We discuss the nomenclature of this louse and confirm that its correct name is now Abrocomaphthirus chilensis (Gomez, 1998). After comparing type specimens designated from each description, we also document some morphological variation within this species with respect to the paratergal plate on abdominal segment 3 in the female which usually has two relatively long apical setae, but occasionally has only one.
最近，来自智利豚鼠科啮齿动物贝氏豚鼠（Abrocoma bennetti Waterhouse，1837）身上的同一种吸血虱（啮目-吸虱亚目），被分别描述为智利真颚虱（Eulinognathus chilensis Gomez，1998）和霍氏豚鼠虱（Abrocomaphthirus hoplai Durden & Webb，1999）。我们讨论了这种虱子的命名法，并确认其正确名称现在是智利豚鼠虱（Abrocomaphthirus chilensis (Gomez, 1998)）。在比较了每种描述中指定的模式标本后，我们还记录了该物种内部的一些形态变异，即雌性腹部第3节的背板，通常有两根相对较长的顶端刚毛，但偶尔只有一根。
