A New Subspecies of Orchopeas sexdentatus (Baker) (Siphonaptera: Dolichopsyllidae)

Abstract

During a recent field trip into the Grand Canyon National Park by Dr. John S. Garth, Dr. R. L. Rutherford, and Granville P. Ashcraft for the Allan Hancock Foundation, a fine series of ectoparasites were collected. Among this material are two fleas apparently new to science which are here described and illustrated.
