A systematic review of genera and subgenera of Siphonaptera Rhopalopsyllinae comprising nine operating taxonomic units is presented based on phenetic and cladistic analysis. Twenty-seven characters of adults were analyzed and the character states were determined for each character by the out-group method. Phenogram and cladograms indicated two tribes, each with two subtribes. Systematic changes proposed as a result of this study include the raising of the subgeneric status of Gephyropsylla, Hechteilla, and Ayeshaepsylla to independent genera; the recognition of a new genus, Neotropsylla, to include Polygenis guimaraesi Linardi; the division of the genus Polygenis Jordan into two subgenera: Neopolygenis subgen. n., to include species of the atopus group, and Polygenis s. str., for remaining species.
基于表型和分支分析，对包含九个操作分类单元的蚤目蠕形蚤亚科的属和亚属进行了系统综述。分析了成虫的27个特征，并通过外类群法确定了每个特征的特征状态。表型图和分支图显示有两个族，每个族有两个亚族。本研究提出的系统变化包括将盖氏蚤属、赫氏蚤属和阿氏蚤属的亚属地位提升为独立属；承认一个新属，新特氏蚤属，包括林纳迪氏多基因蚤；将乔丹多基因蚤属分为两个亚属：新多基因蚤亚属，包括阿托普斯组的物种，以及狭义多基因蚤属，用于其余物种。
