Smit (1968) misreported Tunga libis from Chile. Here we describe this flea as a new species. We analyzed free life females, male and embedded females. Moreover, we include data about its natural history and biology. These data will allow a better understanding about other Tunga fleas, and particularly for collecting males, which remain unknown to date.
斯密特(1968年)误报了来自智利的穿皮潜蚤。在此我们将这种跳蚤描述为一个新物种。我们分析了自由生活的雌蚤、雄蚤以及寄生的雌蚤。此外,我们还纳入了有关其自然史和生物学的数据。这些数据将有助于更好地了解其他穿皮潜蚤,尤其是有助于采集至今仍不为人知的雄蚤。
