Type locality. China, Harbin.

Type hosts. Cricetulus griseus Milne-Edwards, 1871 and Apodemus agrarius (Pallas, 1771) . Principal hosts. Hamsters of the genus Cricetulus Fischer, 1803 (according to Zemskaya, 1973). Distribution. Widely distributed in Northern Eurasia, Eastern Europe to China and Japan (Vitzthum, 1930; Mašán & Fenďa, 2010). In Asiatic Russia, the species is confined to the southern regions. It should be noted, however, that some records of L. jettmari from Eastern Europe may actually belong to L. pavlovskyi Zakhvatkin, 1948 (see remarks for L. pavlovskyi below). In Siberia, L. jettmari is known from Transbaikalia (Goncharova et al., 1991; Nikulina, 2004).
