discussion
Comments: The specimens examined from Yucatán had traits described by Kruidenier et al. (1961), Quentin & Kinsella (1972), and Falcón-Ordaz et al. (2016), i. e. cephalic plate rounded (males) or elongated (females); amphids located medial to the ventral submedian papillae; lateral alae present; males with three mamelons, spicule 62 – 71 long, gubernaculum 31 – 33 long, accessory hook with ornamentation, three pairs of caudal papillae surrounding the cloacal region, and tail 67 – 79 long; and females with no prominent vulva and tail 276 – 321 long. All females were non-gravid. In México, S. peromysci has been recorded from P. maniculatus in Hidalgo (Pulido-Flores et al. 2005) and P. difficilis in Veracruz (Falcón-Ordaz et al. 2016). This is the first record of S. peromysci from P. yucatanicus and for Yucatán.
