abstract = {Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data were used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships for 11 of the 12 currently recognized species of Fahrenholzia, which are found only on rodents of the family Heteromyidae. Field collections included 20 of the 33 known host associations and resulted in discovery of four new associations. Phylogenetic analyses of the mitochondrial and nuclear datasets were in general agreement, resulting in a well resolved Fahrenholzia phylogeny. Analyses supported monophyly of lice parasitizing the host subfamily Heteromyinae (spiny pocket mice), and lice parasitizing the genera Chaetodipus (pocket mice) and Perognathus (silky pocket mice) each represent monophyletic lineages. Phylogenetic patterns and levels of genetic differentiation suggest that the widespread species F. pinnata may contain several cryptic species. Cryptic species also may exist within the less widely distributed species, F. microcephala and F. reducta.}
