The Fleas (Siphonaptera) of the Faroe Islands: Yvirlit yvir loppur skrásettar í Føroyum

Abstract

This paper deals with the flea fauna of the Faroe Islands. Until recently only two species were known from the islands, but intensive collecting from birds and mammals and hatching from nest material has increased the number of species to nine - four of which are mammal fleas and five are bird fleas.
