Type locality. USA, Illinois, Urbana.

Type host. A “wild rat”.

Principal hosts. Undefinable. A. glasgowi does not exhibit the host specificity and infests a wide range of hosts, including diverse taxa of rodents, bats, small carnivores and insectivores (Strandtmann, 1949; Evans & Till, 1966; Zemskaya, 1973; Goncharova et al., 1991).

Distribution. Cosmopolitan (Evans & Till, 1966). In Asiatic Russia, it is widely distributed (Nikulina, 2004).

Remarks. In the Russian literature, including the most recent publications (Nikulina, 2004; Kryukov, 2005; Mal’kova, 2010), the species has been known under the taxonomic name Androlaelaps (or Haemolaelaps) glasgowi . This usage is conventionally followed here for the sake of convenience, though in the vast majority of recent acarological publications another taxonomic name, A. fahrenholzi (Berlese, 1911), is used.
