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.

“…The papers of RE Lewis (1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1993b, Lewis and Lewis 1985) on distribution and host preferences in fleas and on classification of the Siphonaptera are valuable references. As well, Lewis and colleagues published several recent reviews of genera of fleas in North America (Lewis 2000, 2002, 2003, 2008a, b, 2009, Lewis and Galloway 2001, Lewis and Haas 2001, Lewis and Jameson 2002, Lewis and Wilson 2006) wherein there are relevant nomenclatural changes from taxa cited by Holland (1985). In addition, volumes I-V of the Illustrated Catalogue of the Rothschild Collection of Fleas (Hopkins and Rothschild 1953–1971) are essential companions for anyone studying fleas in Canada.…”

There are currently 154 species of fleas recorded in Canada in four superfamilies and seven families. Only two species have been added to the list since the previous summary by Holland (1979) one of which is unlikely to be established in Canada. There have been a number of significant nomenclatural changes since then most notable of which is the split of the Hystrichopsyllidae into two families Hystrichopsyllidae and Ctenophthalmidae. An additional 23 species may eventually be recorded based on presence of suitable hosts and proximity to known distributions. Six species are introduced and one species is adventive. Although total diversity is reasonably well known there are numerous gaps in distribution of fleas throughout the country. Barcode Index Numbers are available for only 22 species of fleas collected in Canada.

A total of 45 flea species, assigned to 22 genera, are documented for the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Fourteen records are new for the state, five species are recorded for the first time for the country and the state, and the number of species of Mexico is increased to 177 species. Chihuahua now has 25.4% of the total flea species registered for the country. A new species of the genus Strepsylla is described from specimens from the Flora and Fauna Protection Area Cerro del Mohinora, in the northwestern part of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Strepsylla mohinora sp. nov. is included in a published taxonomic key for the species of Strepsylla.
