Abstract

A new species of chigoe flea belonging to the genus Tunga Jarocki, 1838 (Siphonaptera, Pulicidae, Tunginae), Tunga trimamillata, was recently described by Pampiglione et al. (2002). A better description and more details of the epidemiology of the flea are now presented. It is a species found in goats, pigs and cattle in Santa Isabel in Andean Ecuador. This new species differs from its most similar congener, Tunga penetrans (L., 1758), by several features, the most important of which are a) the presence on the anterior extremity of the gravid female of three rounded humps surrounding the head and thorax (which, however, are not visible if viewed in profile), b) slightly larger dimensions and c) the length of the first segment of the maxillary palpi which is longer than each of the other three.

摘要

一种属于穿皮潜蚤属（Tunga Jarocki，1838年）（蚤目，蚤科，穿皮潜蚤亚科）的新种穿皮潜蚤——三瘤穿皮潜蚤（Tunga trimamillata），最近由潘皮廖内等人（2002年）进行了描述。现在给出了该蚤更详细的描述及其流行病学的更多细节。它是在厄瓜多尔安第斯地区圣伊莎贝尔的山羊、猪和牛身上发现的一个物种。这个新物种与其最相似的同属物种——穿皮潜蚤（Tunga penetrans，林奈，1758年）在几个特征上有所不同，其中最重要的是：a）在孕蚤的前端有三个围绕头部和胸部的圆形隆起（然而，从侧面看时这些隆起不可见），b）尺寸稍大，以及c）上颌触须第一节的长度长于其他三节中的每一节。
