“…Ceratophyllus difinis, a Nearctic species, is recorded from a wide variety of birds that nest on or near the ground (Benton 1980;Holland 1985;Haas et al 1985;Chilton and Galloway 1995). There are collections from nests of hirundinids Holland 1985) in which their occurrence is probably accidental rather than indicative of a close relationship with these hosts.…”

The Canadian Entomologist 132: 15 -37 (2000) Descriptions are provided for larvae of nine species of Ceratophyllus Curtis for which swallows in North America, north of Mexico, are recorded hosts. A detailed description is provided for the larva of Ceratophyllus celsus celsus Jordan and for other species only where there are significant differences from C. c. celsus. Ceratophyllus celsus celsus, Ceratophyllus scopulorum Holland, and Ceratophyllus petrochelidoni Wagner are characterized by a large number of anal comb (25-42) and anal mound (13-23) setae, but among themselves have not proved separable; Ceratophyllus styx riparius Jordan and Rothschild is remarkable in having two ventral plate setae on all thoracic segments as well as on the eighth and occasionally the ninth abdominal segments; Ceratophyllus idius Jordan and Rothschild and Ceratophyllus niger C. Fox characteristically display stout ventral plate setae on the thoracic segments, as seen in C. c. celsus, but have fewer anal comb and mound setae. We are unable to separate larvae of C. idius and C. niger from each other. Ceratophyllus gallinae (Schrank) also has few comb and mound setae, but the ventral plate setae are more slender than evident in other species treated here. Ceratophyllus dzfinis Jordan and Ceratophyllus garei Rothschild, the sole Nearctic representatives of the subgenus Emmareus Smit, are characterized by their short, slender, thoracic ventral plate setae, but have not been separated from each other here. Redescriptions are provided for larvae of C. gallinae and C . garei. Descriptions for all other taxa are provided for the first time. A key is provided to the known larvae of species associated with swallows in North America, north of Mexico. Pilgrim RLC, Galloway TD. 2000.

An accumulation of fleas that constitute the Hastriter flea collection includes accounts/records of 167 species over 48 years. These officially belong to the Brigham Young University flea collection. They are summarized in this treatise with identifications of new state, county, and provicincial records from the United States, Canada, and some species that extend south into México. Records included are represented by eight families that are presented in alphabetical order (Ceratophyllidae, Ctenopthalmidae, Hystrichopsyllidae, Ischnopsyllidae, Leptopsyllidae, Pulicidae, Rhopalopsyllidae, and Vermipsyllidae). Major synonomies are provided with each species (excluding very common and cosmopolitan species) with major political subdivisions following each reference/pagination. Two appendices are included that list important references (not included in synonomies) (Appendix I) and a listing of synonyms for the family Ceratophyllidae (Appendix II). Four tables are included that list new geographical records and one table that notes new host records. Seventy-eight flea species (some of the same species were new for different state, county and provincial records) accounted for 129 new U.S. state or Canadian provincial records. These also included 12 new state records. An additional 15 new host records for 13 different flea species were documented. To aid future investigations, significant research findings such as disease investigations, zoonotic disease control measures, seasonal bionomics, et cetera are annotated in the remarks.
