Type locality. Greenland, Quanersoit (Disko Island). Type specimens. Williams et al . (1978: 265) believe that the types of Dermanyssus ambulans are “lost or destroyed”. However, some types of Arachnida from Quanersoit described in Thorell (1872) are kept in ZMUU (Saaristo & Marusik, 2003), so the type specimens of D . ambulans may also be extant. Type host. Unknown (not stated in the original description). Host range. Haemogamasus ambulans is an opportunistic mite able to live in nests and shelters of many species of small mammals, both insectivores and rodents (Allred, 1969; Whitaker & Wilson, 1974; Goncharova et al ., 1991; Whitaker et al ., 2007). It may be found also in birds’ nests. It is impossible therefore to designate a mammal species as its principal host. Distribution. Worldwide (Williams et al ., 1978). In Asiatic Russia, Hg . ambulans occurs throughout the entire region. The northernmost collections were made in Yamal Peninsula, Kolhyma River delta, Wrangel Island (Belyaev, 1969; Goncharova et al ., 1991). All these localities are situated far north of the Arctic Circle. : Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2017, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.
