Species
These three species belong to the genus Ischyropoda:
- Ischyropoda spiniger Keegan, 1951
- Ischyropoda furmani Keegan, 1955
- Ischyropoda armatus Keegan, 1951
Ischyropoda spiniger
Ischyropoda spiniger is a species of mite in the genus Ischyropoda. This species uses the spiny pocket mouse of Baja California and Arizona as a host.[3]
Ischyropoda furmani
