Type locality : North China, “Yu-Lin-Fu, Shansi”. Type series: NHMUK. The type secies includes the lectotype and 12 paralectotypes (7 females, 5 deutonymphs). The lectotype was designated by Tenorio (1984; for more details see Tenorio 1985). Type host : Stated as “ Myospalax scansus ” = Eospalax cansus (Lyon 1907), the Gansu zokor (see Zhou & Zhou 2008 for details). Host range : The species of the genus Myospalax (zokors) are the principal hosts of this mite (Tenorio 1985). In Siberia, H . confucianus is associated with the Daurian zokor, Myospalax aspalax Pallas, 1776 (Goncharova et al . 1991); occasional recordings of this parasite from the narrow-headed vole ( M . gregalis ), marmots, and the Siberian jerboa, Allactaga sibirica Foster, 1778, are known (Nikulina 2004). Distribution : Far East. Found in some areas of Southern Siberia (Irkutsk Region, Transbaikalia) [Goncharova et al . 1991; Nikulina 2004]. : Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.
