[Neoparasitylenchus megabothridis n. sp. (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) parasite of Megabothris tubidus (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae); observations on fleas tylenchides in the S.W. of Europa (author's transl)].

A number of nematodes (Tylenchida, Allantonematidae) were observed in 11 species of Siphonaptera from the South-West of Europe. The fleas belong of 4 differents families (Pulicidae, Vermipsyllidae,Hystrichopsyllidae, Ceratophyllidae). Neoparasitylenchus megabothridis n. sp., parasite of the flea Megabothris turbidus (Rothschild, 1909), is described and the life cycle given. It shows little pathogenicity to tis host. Psyllotylenchus sp. parasite of Nosopsyllus fasciatus (Bosc, 1801), appears to be a teratogenic and causes a feminisation of parasitised males and a masculinisation of females. A generic determination cannot be made with any certainty in the material collected from others fleas.

Larvae of the woodrat fleas Anomiopsyllus amphibolus and Atyphlocerus echis echis (Siphonaptera: Hystrichopsyllidae).

The external morphology of Anomiopsyllus amphibolus Wagner, 1936 and Atyphloceras echis echis Jordan and Rothschild, 1915 larvae (Siphonaptera: Hystrichopsyllidae) from woodrat (Neotoma lepida) nests is described. Among known flea larvae, the genus Anomiopsyllus (Anomiopsyllinae, Anomiopsyllini) is as distinctive in larval form as are the adults. Among other distinctive features, only Anomiopsyllus are known to have only two ventrolateral setae. Atyphloceras (Hystrichopsyllinae, Hystrichopsyllini) larvae seem more similar in morphology to those of Typhloceras (Hystrichopsyllini) than to Hystrichopsylla, the other genus placed within the Hystrichopsyllini. Characters used to distinguish flea larvae found in Neotoma nests are discussed.

[On Siphonaptera from rodents of Formosa county, Goiás State (author's transl)].

Polygenis bohlsi jordani (Costa Lima, 1937) (Siphonaptera) is for the first time recorded as ectoparasite on wild rodents captured in the "cerrado" area of Central Brazil. Seven out of nine rodents collected were found bearing P. b. jordani. The most common species found infested with the flea were: Zygodontomys lasiurus, Oryzomys eliurus, Calomys callosus and Nectomys squamipes.

[Fleas from the Neuguén Province (Argentina); description of 4 new taxa (Insecta, Siphonaptera)].

The collect of 973 Fleas on various small terrestrial mammals, from December 1987 till May 1988, in the Neuquén Province (Argentina), has given 20 taxa. Hectopsylla pascuali n. sp., Plocopsylla consobrina n. sp., Agastopsylla boxi gibbosa n. ssp., Chiliopsylla allophyla tonnii n. ssp. are described. Plocopsylla diana Beaucournu, Gallardo and Launay, 1986, Ctenoparia inopinata Rothschild, 1909, Neotyphloceras crassispina chilensis Jordan, 1936, Tetrapsyllus satyrus Beaucournu and Torrés-Mura, 1986, Ectinorus martini Lewis, 1976, are new from Argentina.

Susceptibility of the cat flea (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) to pyrethroids.

Adult cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché), from two laboratory colonies (one originating in California and one from Florida) were exposed to residues of eight pyrethroids to compare their susceptibilities. The Florida strain was more tolerant than the California strain, with 6.8-, 5.2-, and 4.8-fold tolerance to cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, and fluvalinate, respectively. The Florida strain showed less than 3-fold tolerance to the other five insecticides (permethrin, tralomethrin, d-phenothrin, resmethrin, and fenvalerate). Overall, the pyrethroids were ineffective against the Florida strain.

Egg production, larval development, and adult longevity of cat fleas (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) exposed to ultrasound.

Adult cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché), on cats (Felis catus) were exposed to emissions from an ultrasonic flea collar worn by the cat. No significant differences were found in total numbers of eggs produced per day (mean = 524 control, 614 treatment), in length of larval development time (mean = 7.7 d control, 7.7 d treatment), or in total daily pupal production (mean = 485 control, 445 treatment) between the treatment and the control groups. Tests off the host were conducted to determine whether ultrasonic exposure caused mortality in adult fleas; no significant differences were found in daily mortality between the treated and control fleas during 1 wk of exposure.
