Hoplopleura chrysocomi, H. sembeli, and H. musseri are described and illustrated as new species from bioendemic murid rodents, and H. pacifica Ewing is documented from commensal murids from Sulawesi Utara, Indonesia. H. chrysocomi parasitized only Bunomys chrysocomus (Hoffmann), and H. musseri was taken only from Maxomys musschenbroeki (Jentink). H. sembeli was collected from three species of sympatric murids but parasitized principally Maxomys hellwaldi (Jentink). Similarities between H. musseri from Sulawesi and H. pectinata (Cummings) from mainland Southeast Asia and Borneo corroborate host taxonomies that propose close phylogenetic relationships between their spiny rat hosts. Brief comment is made on possible coevolution between the regionally bioendemic Sulawesi macaques and their pedicinid sucking lice.
霍普虱属的金毛霍普虱、森氏霍普虱和穆氏霍普虱被描述并图示为来自生物特有鼠科啮齿动物的新物种，并且记录了来自印度尼西亚北苏拉威西岛共栖鼠类的太平洋霍普虱。金毛霍普虱仅寄生于金毛布氏鼠（霍夫曼），穆氏霍普虱仅采自穆氏大长吻松鼠（詹廷克）。森氏霍普虱采自三种同域分布的鼠类，但主要寄生于黑氏大长吻松鼠（詹廷克）。苏拉威西岛的穆氏霍普虱与东南亚大陆和婆罗洲的栉齿霍普虱（卡明斯）之间的相似性证实了宿主分类学，该分类学提出其刺鼠宿主之间存在密切的系统发育关系。简要评论了该地区生物特有的苏拉威西猕猴与其栉齿虱科吸血虱之间可能的协同进化。
