REVIEW OF RECORDED SPECIES HYSTRIC HOP S Y L L IDA E Hystrichopsylla orientális orientális Smit, 1956 Collection data: Ciré-Mindol 1975 - PT (pitfall trap) 0/1* Hertnik 26-28 Aug., 1980 1/0 on P. subterraneus; Lenartov 10-12 Nov., 1981 - 0/1 on S. araneus; Livov 20-23 April 1982 - 0/1 on P. subterraneus. Atyphloceras nuperus (Jordan, 1931) Collection data: Lenartov 10-12 Nov., 1981 - 3/3 on 5 C. glareolus and 1 P. subterra neus. Note. Characteristic for montane conditions, but a not very numerous member of the autumn-winter flea synusia of the bank vole. Ctenophthalmus solutus solutus Jordan & Rothschild, 1920 Collection data: Ruská Vol'a 9 July,1974 - 1/1 on A. flavicollis. Note. This species accompanies the yellow-necked field-mouse to the edge of the montane zone (oak stage). It seems to be absent in the deep valleys and higher vegetation zones (beech forests). Ctenophthalmus agyrtes kleinschmidtianus Peus, 1950 Collection data: Ruská Vol'a 9 March, 1974 - 3/7 on C. glareolus; Circ" 14 July, 1974 2/3 on C. glareolus ; Ő ire"-Minzöl 1975 - PT, 1/5; Lenartov 29 Jan.. 1975 - 1/3 on C. gla reolus; Hertnik 26-28 Aug., 1980 - 14/19; Lenartov 10-12 Nov., 1981 - 25/24;. Livov 20-23 April, 1982 - 96/145 on 180 P. subterraneus, 107 C. glareolus, 12 M. arvalis , 10 A. flavi collis , 11 S. araneus, 2 A. agrárius, 1 N. fodiens. Note. The investigated area belongs to the eastern border of the wide introgression zone of two subspecies of Ctenophthalmus agyrtes (Haller, 1896). The majority of the examined males (142 specimens), clearly bear the patterns of the subspecies kleinschmidtianus Peus in all the investigated localities. The different ratios of males in single localities are intermediate between C. agyrtes peusianus Rosicky and C. agyrtes kleinschmidtianus Peus in the shape of the aedeagal lamella and the fixed process of the clasper. Only the population from locality Hertnik seems to be uniformly C. a. kleinschmidtianus Peus. Ctenophthalmus obtusus Jordan & Rothschild, 1912 Collection data: Livov 20-23 April, 1982 - 5/2 on 5 P. subterraneus , 2 C. glareolus; Lenartov 23 April, 1982 - 6/2 on P. subterraneus. Note. A locally distributed species in the central part of the mountain. It is possible to observe an evident host segregation between C. obtusus and the other congeneric species. In case of syntopic occurrence of both species the former prefers the pine vole (P. subterra neus). There was only one case of synoxenous presence of both species during the investigation period. Ctenophthalmus uncinatus uncinatus (Wagner, 1898) Collection data: Ciré-Mincol 1975 - PT, 0/1; Hertnik 26-28 Aug.. 1980 - 3/9; Lenartov 10-12 Nov.. 1981 - 1/3; Livov 20-23 April. 1982 - 12/17 on 31 C. glareolus . 8 P. sub terraneus, 2 S. araneus, 2 A. flavicollis , 1 A. agrárius, 1 M. arvalis. Note, This species is distributed all over the studied area. It shows preference first of all for the bank vole ( C. glareolus) among the 6 ascertained host species. The majority of the specimens (69%) was collected from this host, Doratopsylla dasycnema cuspis (Rothschild, 1915) Collection data: Circ-Miníol 1975 - PT, 12/5; Hertnik 26-28 Aug., 1980 - 3/0; Lenartov 10-12 Nov., 1981 - 9/2; Livov 21 April, 1982 - 1/0 on 8 S. araneus and 7 S.alpinus. Note. A not very numerous species during the whole period of the investigation. A slight influence of the nominate subspecies was noted in the population from Circ (western slopes of mountain) in the shape of the male terminalia and the 7th sternum of the females. Number of males/number of females.
