摘要
Echidnophaga suricatta (Pulicidae), a new species of flea collected from the meerkat (Suricata suricatta Schreber, 1776) near Garies (30 degrees 22'S, 17 degrees 31'E) and Brandvlei (30 degrees 27'S, 20 degrees 29'E), Northern Cape Province, South Africa, is described. Based on chaetotaxy of the tarsal segments, this new species is most closely related to E. bradyta Jordan & Rothschild, 1906, E. iberica Ribeiro, Lucientes, Osacar & Calvete, 1994, E. macronychia Jordan Sr Rothschild, 1.906, and E. ochotona Li, 1957. A key is provided for the 23 recognized species or subspecies in the genus Echidnophaga.
