Fleas in French Guiana (Insecta: Siphonaptera)

Based on a collection of approximately 760 fleas, of which 520 were collected in 1994-1995 during scientific studies at the Petit Saut dam site in French Guiana, 12 species and subspecies are discussed. Two taxa, Rhopalopsyllus garbei Guimaraes, 1940 and Adoratopsylla intermedia copha (Jordan, 1926)...

Zusammenfassung:	Based on a collection of approximately 760 fleas, of which 520 were collected in 1994-1995 during scientific studies at the Petit Saut dam site in French Guiana, 12 species and subspecies are discussed. Two taxa, Rhopalopsyllus garbei Guimaraes, 1940 and Adoratopsylla intermedia copha (Jordan, 1926), are new records for French Guiana. The fleas collected during the 1994-1995 study were obtained from 35 species of mammals (3,484 specimens); of which, 21 (60%) species were negative for fleas. The mammals were captured primarily by live-trapping during a capture release study along a portion of the Sinnamary River and its tributaries up to a distance of 70 km upstream from the Petit Saut dam site
