CHECKLIST OF THE FLEAS ON THE FAROE ISLANDS
5. Dasypsyllus gallinulae gallinulae (Dale)
- (figs.7 and 8)
The genus Dasyphyllus are bird fleas. D.
gallinulae gallinulae is a very common
species in most of Europe, it being a para-
site on a large number of smaller birds es-
pecially of the Passeriformes. In the Faroe
Islands a single specimen was found on a
House Mouse (Mus domesticus), which re-
flects the fact that many fleas are quite
broadminded when it comes to sucking
blood.
