several short bristles; occipital margin concave. Prothorax short, 

 quadrangular, with lateral margins diverging slightly; posterior angles

Penenirmus jungens (Kellogg, 1896) 



Doaophorus jungens Kellogg, 1896. Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci., 6: 481, 



pi. 66, fig. 4. 

 Type host: Colaptes auratus (Linnaeus) — Yellow-shafted Flicker. 



Dalgleish (1965) separates this species from P. auritus (Scopoli, 

 1763) by the presence of an average of 4 centro-posterior setae on 

 the pterothorax and tergites III-V. This species of Penenirmus is found 

 on all species of Colaptes in North America. Kellogg (1896) recorded 

 this species from Kansas, Peters (1928) Ohio, Wilson (1928) New York, 

 Peters (1936) Delaware, Virginia, and New Hampshire, Brimley (1938) 

 North Carolina, Emerson (1940) Oklahoma, Brown and Wilk (1944) Alberta, 

 Judd (1953) Ontario, Whitehead (1954) Quebec and Emerson and Johnson 

 (1961) Oklahoma, Indiana, New York, Iowa, Texas, Virginia, and 

 Mississippi .

The setae of the abdominal segments are regularly arranged, 4 in a 

 row. Equidistant on each side of the row, close to the posterior margin 

 of the segment is an additional pustulate hair. On the 6th segment there 

 are only 2 central setae and on the penultimate and last segments only 

 the marginal setae are pustulate. 



I have found no records of this species being collected in the 

 United States.
