Five new species of the malagasy endemic genus Paractenopsyllus Wagner, 1938, are described. Paractenopsyllus rouxi, P. ratovonjatoi, P. duplantieri, P. juliamarinus and P. gemelli have been collected on endemic small mammals and the black rat. Biotopes are mid-elevation rain-forests of the central highlands or the northern mountains of Madagascar. Morphological affinities between these new species and those already known provide taxonomic links within the genus. Differences in the spatial and altitudinal distributions and host ranges allow discussion of the potential factors important in the species distribution of this genus.
本文描述了马达加斯加特有属——副梳爪蚤属（Paractenopsyllus Wagner，1938）的五个新物种。鲁氏副梳爪蚤（Paractenopsyllus rouxi）、拉托冯贾图副梳爪蚤（P. ratovonjatoi）、迪普朗捷副梳爪蚤（P. duplantieri）、朱莉亚马里纳副梳爪蚤（P. juliamarinus）和杰梅利副梳爪蚤（P. gemelli）是在当地特有小型哺乳动物和黑家鼠身上采集到的。其生物群落为马达加斯加中部高地或北部山区的中海拔雨林。这些新物种与已知物种之间的形态学相似性为该属提供了分类学联系。空间和海拔分布以及宿主范围的差异有助于探讨影响该属物种分布的潜在重要因素。
