Comments: The traits presented in our specimens were in accordance with those described by Hugot & Quentin (1985), Robles et al. (2008), and Khalil et al. (2014), i. e. quadrangular cephalic plate; amphids located close to the ventral submedian papillae; slight swellings of the cuticle instate of lateral alae; males with three mamelons, spicule 50 – 56 long, gubernaculum 25 – 30 long, accessory hook without ornamentation, three pairs of caudal papillae surrounding the cloacal region, and tail 174 – 250 long; and females with no prominent vulva, tail 334 – 650 long, and eggs 73 – 80 long by 27 – 37 wide. In México, S. muris has been reported from R. rattus in Hidalgo (Pulido-Flores et al. 2005) and Tabasco (Cigarroa-Toledo et al. 2017). In Yucatán, this species has been previously reported from R. rattus in three localities in Mérida and in Opichén (Panti-May et al. 2015, 2017).
