The new subgenera Thaelerius and Jamespattonius are described, respectively, for the eight species of Geomydoecus in the thomomyus complex of lice and the four species of Thomomydoecus in the wardi complex. Except for T. byersi Hellenthal & Price from Thomomys bottae (Eydoux & Gervais), these lice are restricted to the Thomomys talpoides (Richardson) complex of pocket gophers and are the only lice found on these hosts. A key is given for the identification of the currently recognized 122 taxa of pocket gopher lice.
新的亚属泰勒虱属(Thaelerius)和詹姆斯帕顿虱属(Jamespattonius)分别用于虱类汤普森鼠虱复合体中的8种Geomydoecus属虱以及瓦尔迪虱复合体中的4种Thomomydoecus属虱。除了来自汤氏囊鼠(Thomomys bottae,由埃杜克斯和热尔韦命名)的拜氏泰勒虱(T. byersi Hellenthal & Price)外,这些虱类仅限于囊鼠属(Thomomys talpoides,由理查森命名)的囊鼠复合体,并且是在这些宿主上发现的唯一虱类。文中给出了一个检索表,用于鉴定目前已确认的122种囊鼠虱分类单元。
