SPECIES OF POSSIBLE OCCURRENCE 

 Ceratophyllus acutus Baker 



1928 Ceratophyllus acutus Stewart, Cornell Univ. Agric. Exp. Sta., 

 Mem. 101, p. 869. 



1929 Ceratophyllus acutus Jordan, Nov. Zool., 35: 175. 



The occurrence of this species in New York, as originally 

 reported, has been seriously questioned by Jordan. The above 

 name is regarded as a synonym of Diamanus montanus 

 (Baker) . 



Peromyscopsylla selenis (Rothschild) 



1933 Ctenopsyllus selenis Stewart, Jour. New York Ent. Soc, 41:259. 



The record of the occurrence of this species in New York was 

 apparently based upon the misidentification of a specimen in 

 the United States National Museum belonging to P. hesperomys 

 (Baker) . 



Myodopsylla crosbyi (Baker) 



1905 Ceratopsyllus crosbyi Baker, Proc. United States Nat. Mus., 29:137. 



1906 Ceratopsyllus crosbyi Rothschild, Nov. Zool., 13:187. 



The status of this species has already been discussed on p. 106.
