Together with the Argentine P. hirstianus, it forms the subgenus Beprolistrophorus.[1] P. bakeri has been found on the hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), marsh rice rat (Oryzomys palustris), and cotton mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus) in Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, and Florida[2] and on Oryzomys couesi in Colima.[3] It was formerly placed in the genus Listrophorus.[4]
