On the basis of studies of age changes in the ovaries of Ct. orientalis, Ct. teres, C. laeviceps and X. conformis by means of luminescent microscopy a scale was plotted for identification of physiological age of females of fleas. Depending on the presence or absence of yellow bodies and on the stage of development of oocytes in the ovary the fleas are arranged into two main groups: breeding and non-breeding females. According to the total combination of characters, size and colour of yellow bodies, presence and character of luminescence in the germarium and adjoining areas of vitellarium, the presence of "starvation bodies", "degeneration bodies" and resorpting oocytes, the state of seminal receptable, each group is divided into subgroups that enables us to make a detail description of age composition of the population under study.
基于利用荧光显微镜对东方栉眼蚤、特氏栉眼蚤、平滑髭蚤和 conformis 新蚤卵巢年龄变化的研究，绘制了一个用于鉴定雌性跳蚤生理年龄的量表。根据卵巢中黄体的有无以及卵母细胞的发育阶段，跳蚤被分为两个主要类别：繁殖期雌蚤和非繁殖期雌蚤。根据黄体的特征、大小和颜色的总体组合，生殖腺和卵黄腺相邻区域发光的有无及特征，“饥饿小体”“退化小体”和正在吸收的卵母细胞的存在情况，受精囊的状态，每个类别又分为若干亚组，这使我们能够详细描述所研究种群的年龄组成。
