ess of the clasper extends to about the tip of the movable finger,

Catallagia moneris Jordan 



Catallagia moneris Jordan, 1937, Novitates Zool. 40 : 267, fig. 50. 



Type host. — Marmota flaviventrvi (Aud. and Bach.) (woodchuck). 



Type locality. — Ravalli County, Mont. 



Range. — Known only from Montana. 



In his original description Jordan states that this species "Agrees 

 in all details with C. decipiens Roths. 1915, from Alberta and British 

 Columbia, except in the size and shape of the spermatheca." The 

 shape of this spermatheca, or receptaculum seminis, is different from 

 that of any other female of Catallagia, as far as known, in having the 

 head not widened toward the tail and longer than the latter. Only 

 a single female is known. 



Catallagia motei Hubbard 



Catallagia motei Hubbard, 1940, Pacific Univ. Bui. 37 (3) : [4], 2 figs. 



Type host. — Not mentioned by describer. 



Type locality. — Banks, Oreg. 



Range. — Known from Oregon and Washington. 



The original description of motei was based entirely on females 

 and is accompanied by a drawing of the receptaculum seminis and 

 seventh sternal plate. 



Catallagia onaga Jordan 



Catallagia onaga Jordan, 1929, Novitates Zool. 35: 172, fig. 7; I. Fox, 1940, Fleas 

 of Eastern United States, p. 103, pi. 2S, fig. 145. 



Type host. — Blarina brevicanda (Say) (short-tailed shrew). 



Type locality. — Adirondack Mountains, N. Y. 



Range. — Known only from New York State. 



This species is probably a synonym of Catallagia borealis Ewing, 

 being based on the male of that species, but until the sexes of either 

 borealis or onaga have been properly associated, it appears best to 

 give onaga standing as a distinct species. 



Catallagia sculleni Hubbard 



Catallagia sculleni Hubbard, 1940, Pacific Univ. Bui. 37 (3) : [3], 3 figs. 



Type host. — ( ?) . "Normal host is the Deer mouse." 



Type locality. — Forest Grove, Oreg. 



Range. — According to a statement accompanying the original de- 

 scription: "The range extends from the Pacific Ocean east over the 

 Coast Range into the Puget Sound Trough in Oregon and Washing- 

 ton." < 



This species was described from 35 specimens. The original de- 

 scription is accompanied by a drawing of the ninth sternal plate of 

 the male, which is characterized by having 4 black, short, spine- 

 like, subapical setae and a ventral, marginal fringe of long setae.
