Abstract

ABSTRACT The flea genus Rectidigitus Holland, 1969, endemic to Papua New Guinea and Papua Province, Indonesia is reviewed as a continuation of the study of fleas in the Robert Traub flea collection deposited in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This paper (Part IV) is an extension of previous studies by Hastriter (2012), Hastriter and Easton (2013, Part I, Striopsylla), Hastriter (2014, Part II, Nestivalius, Orthopsylloides, and Parastivalius), and Hastriter (2015, Part III, Traubia). Rectidigitus currently contains four valid species (Mardon 1981): R. ancisus (Jordan, 1937), R. spooneri (M. Rothschild, 1934), R. szentivanyi Holland, 1969, and R. traubi Holland, 1969. The male of R. ancisus is described for the first time and the previously known distribution of this species is expanded from Morobe Province to Southern Highlands and Western Highlands Provinces. An additional four new species of Rectidigitus are described herein (R. angularis, R. claviculatus, R. dittmarae, and R. glomerospinosus). With the description of these four new species, the total number of described species in the superfamily Pygiopsylloidea in Papua Province, (Indonesia), Papua New Guinea (including Bismarck Archipelago), and the Solomon Islands is 105. An additional eight species belonging to three other flea families (Ischnopsyllidae (3), Pulicidae (3), and Leptopsyllidae (2)) bring the total number of flea taxa to 113 species (including subspecies). A key to the species of Rectidigitus is provided.

印度尼西亚的巴布亚新几内亚和巴布亚省的Fleas (Siphonaptera: pygiopsylorpha)。四部Rectidigitus，描述四个新物种

摘要对印度尼西亚巴布亚新几内亚和巴布亚省1969年特有的荷兰直趾蚤属进行了研究，作为宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡卡内基自然历史博物馆Robert Traub蚤类收藏跳蚤研究的延续。本文(第四部分)是对Hastriter(2012)、Hastriter和Easton (2013, Part I, Striopsylla)、Hastriter (2014, Part II, neestivalius, Orthopsylloides, and Parastivalius)和Hastriter (2015, Part III, Traubia)前人研究的延伸。直趾虫目前包含4个有效物种(Mardon 1981): R. ancisus (Jordan, 1937)、R. spooneri (M. Rothschild, 1934)、R. szentivanyi Holland, 1969和R. traubi Holland, 1969。首次描述了该种的雄性，并将其已知的分布范围从Morobe省扩展到南部高地和西部高地省。本文介绍了另外4个直指属新种(R. angularis, R. claviculatus, R. dittmarae和R. glomerospinosus)。加上这4个新种的描述，在巴布亚省、(印度尼西亚)、巴布亚新几内亚(包括俾斯麦群岛)和所罗门群岛被描述的Pygiopsylloidea超科的物种总数为105种。蚤科(3科)、蚤科(3科)、蚤科(2科)共8种，蚤类总数达113种(含亚种)。提供了直指属植物的种类分类表。

期刊介绍： Annals of Carnegie Museum is a quarterly journal that publishes peer-reviewed short and medium-length original scientific contributions in organismal biology, earth sciences, and anthropology, in 40 by 52.5 pica format (168 by 220 mm or 6-5/8 by 8-5/8 inches). Subject matter must be relevant to Carnegie Museum of Natural History scientific sections or Powdermill Nature Reserve (PNR), preferably with connection to the Carnegie collection and/or personnel. Carnegie Museum staff and research associates receive publication priority, but others are encouraged to submit papers, especially those manuscripts explicitly based on the Carnegie collection.
