Smit, F. G. A. M. ; Szabó, I.: The distribution of subspecies of Ctenophthalmus agyrtes in Hungary (Siphonaptera: Hystrichopsyllidae)

CARNELUTTI, 1959, must be applied to the northern populations (including Hungarian) as this subspecies was described from Srednja Bistrica and RakiÖan in east Slovenija. Individual variation in specimens from Németbánya is shown in Fig. 2 a-d. C. agyrtes peusianus ROSICKY, 1955 — To the north of Hungary (i.e. in Czechoslovakia and Poland) this subspecies occupies a relatively small area between the ranges of a. agyrtes in the west and a. kleinschmidtianus in the east. In Hungary a. peusianus reaches the southernmost limit of its area of distribution and typical specimens have so far only been collected near Deszkáspuszta and Kisnána. Specimens from other localities are intergrades between this and other subspecies; see below. Males from Deszkáspuszta (in the Börzsöny-Mts.) exhibit variation in the shape and chaetotaxy of the movable process of the clasper from normal (Fig. 3a) to a strong resemblance to a. kleinschmidtianus (Fig. 3d).
