Taxonomic study of the genus Ctenocephalides Stiles and Collins, 1930 (Insecta: Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) by using aedeagus characters

To define more accurately the taxonomic position of the species of Ctenocephalides Stiles and Collins, 1930 (Siphonaptera), a morphological study of the aedeagus was conducted on all taxa of this genus. Based on some phallosome structures (hamulus, lobes, tubus interior), an identification key is co...

Zusammenfassung:	To define more accurately the taxonomic position of the species of Ctenocephalides Stiles and Collins, 1930 (Siphonaptera), a morphological study of the aedeagus was conducted on all taxa of this genus. Based on some phallosome structures (hamulus, lobes, tubus interior), an identification key is constructed to complement the existing taxonomic criteria. C. orientis and C. damarensis are confirmed to specific rank
