Abstract
In the South Trans-Ural region, 2106 insectivores and rodents of 18 species were captured in 2022, and 3633 lice of 9 species were collected from them. The louse P. hannswrangeli parasitizing on the field vole was recorded for the first time in this area. A total of 64 specimens of this louse species (adults and larvae) were recorded. The louse P. hannswrangeli was found on voles in two out of 22 examined biotopes in a pine-birch wild rose-forb felling and dead cover pine forest. At present, the louse P. hannswrangeli in the West Siberian Plain is known from forest-tundra, northern and middle taiga, and herb-bunchgrass steppe. Further studies do not exclude findings of this species in other zones (subzones) of Western Siberia.
