| Resumo: | The interest attached to the fleas placed in Parapsyllus and nearly allied genera extends much beyond the range of flea-systematics. Most of the species being parasitic on rodents, while others are de finitely restricted to birds of the Southern Seas, we may reasonably expect to find in the differences between the mammal-fleas on the one side and the bird-parasites on the other some evidence which throws light on the origin of these distinctions, and likewise to receive from the various fleas infesting the birds some hints as to the relationship of the bird-hosts with one another Before a survey of these wider questions can profitably be attempted, we must be clear about the interrelationship of the fleas themselves. The present paper is mainly devoted to this chapter in flea-systematics. |
