SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series:

Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany

Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology

Smithsonian Folklife Studies

Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space

Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology

In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world.

Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover.

ABSTRACT

Adams, Nancy E., and Robert E. Lewis. An Annotated Catalog of Primary Types of Siphonaptera in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 560, 86 pages, 1995.—Annotated accounts for the 417 siphonapteran primary types in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, are presented. Each account includes the name, author, date of description, genus, computer reference number, citation, collection locality, host species, date of collection, and collector, if known. The kind of primary type and its sex are designated, accompanied by the USNM type number. The remarks section includes the current status of the name and other pertinent information. Of these accounts, 63 names are junior synonyms, one of which is synonymized here. Of the remaining 354 valid taxa, nine primary types are in the Natural History Museum, London, although for various reasons they warrant further discussion. Twenty-seven lectotypes are designated. Five appendices are included. They are an alphabetical index of host/parasite names by species; a list of junior synonyms and their equivalents; a list of type localities by country and the species described from them; an alphabetical list of the valid genera, species, and subspecies represented by primary types in the collection, including their USNM numbers; and the supraspecific classification of the Siphonaptera.

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year. SERIES COVER DESIGN: The coral Montastrea cavernosa (Linnaeus).

Introduction

In accordance with Recommendation 72G (4) of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1985:147, hereafter referred to as the Code), which states that: “Every institution in which name-bearing types are deposited should…publish lists of name-bearing types in its possession or custody…,” we present a list of primary types of Siphonaptera in the National Museum of Natural History (USNM), Smithsonian Institution. Our sources of data and methods are explained below. But first we present a few words about the typological interpretations employed here.

The use of the term TYPE has had a long and often confusing history. Some early workers did not designate types, while others applied the term to all of the specimens available to them at the time of description. Two of the best analyses of types and typology are in Mayr et al. (1953:236–245) and Blackwelder (1967:196 et seq.); a more legalistic approach is in the Code. The glossary in the Code defines 11 kinds of types. Blackwelder divides these, and a few others, into three categories: primary, secondary, and tertiary. While we are concerned here only with primary types, other categories appear on the labels of some specimens and require explanation. As Blackwelder so aptly stated, “…the only direct purpose served by most types is to show to what the name is to be applied….” Here are the categories encountered, their definitions, and our interpretations.

Primary Types

HOLOTYPE.—A single specimen, preferably of the diagnostic sex in dimorphic forms, established as the name-bearing type of a species or subspecies at the time of description, or the sole specimen upon which the taxon was based when no type was specified (monotypy) [Article 73a].

LECTOTYPE.—A syntype (or cotype of earlier workers) designated as the single name-bearing specimen at some time subsequent to the description of a name-bearing species or subspecies [Article 74]. According to Article 74(c) of the current Code “…each [lectotype] designation must be made specifically for an individual nominal species-group taxon and must have as its object the definition of that taxon.” A designated specimen from the syntype series of the opposite sex from the lectotype is called an allolectotype and is not considered any kind of type.

NEOTYPE.—The single specimen designated as the name-bearing type of a species or subspecies for which no holotype, lectotype, syntype, or prior neotype is known to exist [Article 75].

Secondary Types

SYNTYPE (= cotype of earlier workers).—Any specimen of a type series from which neither holotype nor lectotype has been designated [Articles 72a (ii), 73b, 74]. In some instances “cotype” has been used instead of “allotype.”

PARALECTOTYPE.—Any specimen remaining from a syntype series after designation of a lectotype [Article 72a (ii), Recommendation 74F].

Tertiary Types

PARATYPE.—Any specimen of a type series other than the holotype (once a holotype has been designated) [Article 72a (iii), Recommendation 73D].

ALLOTYPE.—A designated specimen of the opposite sex to the holotype. Not regulated by the Code, but equivalent to a paratype [Recommendation 72A]. This category requires further explanation as it is applied in this catalog. Fleas, by their very nature, cannot be adequately studied unless mounted on microscope slides. When series with both sexes are available, it is not uncommon for a male and a female to be mounted on the same slide. With rare exception the male is the diagnostic sex in these insects, and with slides bearing the holotype and allotype, without reference to their sex, we are assuming the former to be the male and the latter to be the female.

Recommendation 72A of the Code recommends that authors avoid applying the term allotype to specimens other than paratypes. There are a few instances in the collection where nonparatypic specimens have been designated allotypes by subsequent authors and attention is called to these in the annotations. Strictly speaking, while they may be the first instance of that sex being described or illustrated, they actually have no type status according to our interpretation of the Code.

In the process of assembling the data for this catalog we have attempted to trace the history of the specimens thought to represent the primary types of the taxa involved. Due to inconsistent practices of earlier students of this group of insects, some species are represented by series of specimens of equal nomenclatural rank since all specimens available at the time of description were labeled “type.” In other instances a single specimen was labeled “type” and the remaining individuals in the series were labeled “cotype.” Where the distinction has been drawn between “type” and “cotype,” we have either treated the “type” as the holotype or, in some instances, designated it as the lectotype. Where a species is only represented by a series of syntypes we have designated a lectotype and, on the advice of one of the reviewers, where possible an allolectotype. Any additional specimens in the type series, irrespective of their sex, automatically become paralectotypes. For the convenience of the reader, following is a list of taxa for which lectotypes have been designated, and their current equivalents.

affinis, Pulex = Euhoplopsyllus glacialis affinis (Baker, 1904)

The reader will note that the lectotypes of 10 of the species named by C.F. Baker now reside in the collection of the British Museum (Natural History) in London. Some time between 1905 and 1915 Baker sold his collection of fleas to N.C. Rothschild. Much to Rothschild's chagrin, no primary types were included in the sale, but there were a number of syntypes due to Baker's labeling habits. Some of these have since been designated lectotypes and include the following taxa. The current status of each name is reviewed and those names preceded by a (†) are discussed further in the appropriate accounts.

acutus, Ceratophyllus. Lectotype , designated by Smit and Wright, 1978b:3. A junior synonym of Oropsylla (Diamanus) montana (Baker, 1895c).

americana, Typhlopsylla. Lectotype , designated by Jordan and Rothschild, 1915:54. A junior synonym of Foxella (Foxella) ignota ignota (Baker, 1895b).

californicus, Anomiopsyllus. Holotype , by monotypy. Now a junior synonym of Animiopsyllus nudatus nudatus (Baker, 1898).

charlottensis, Typhlopsylla. Lectotype , designated by Smit and Wright, 1978b: 12. Now Catallagia charlottensis (Baker, 1898).

†hirsutus, Pulex. Lectotype , designated by Smit and Wright, 1978b:23. Now Oropsylla (Opisocrostis) hirsuta (Baker, 1895c).

†howardi, Pulex. Lectotype , designated by Hopkins, 1954:198. Now Orchopeas howardi howardi (Baker, 1895b).

†inaequalis, Pulex. Lectotype , designated by Hopkins and Rothschild, 1953:180. Now Cediopsylla inaequalis inaequalis (Baker, 1895d).

†keeni, Pulex. Lectotype , designated by Smit and Wright, 1978b:26. Now Opisodasys (Oxypsylla) keeni (Baker, 1896b).

† simulans, Pulex. Lectotype , designated by Smit, 1958b:525. Now Pulex (Pulex) simulans Baker, 1895a.

†wickhami, Pulex. Lectotype , designated by Hopkins, 1954:198. A junior synonym of Orchopeas howardi howardi (Baker, 1895b).

An additional nine species are represented by holotypes or lectotypes in the Natural History Museum, London (formerly the British Museum (Natural History) (BMNH)). Opisodasys (Sciuropsylla) robustus robustus (Jordan, 1925) has a holotype by author designation. Malacopsylla grossiventris Weyenbergh, 1879, has a lectotype that was designated by Hopkins, 1962:266. Opisodasys (Opisodasys) vesperalis (Jordan, 1929a) has a lectotype designated by Smit and Wright, 1978b. The remaining species, Macrostylophora levis (Jordan and Rothschild, 1922a) (), Opisodasys (Sciuropsylla) enoplus (Rothschild, 1909) (), Spicata comis (Jordan, 1929a) () and Stivalius cognatus spiramus Jordan, 1926 () have holotypes of the indicated sex by virtue of monotypy. Each is discussed further under the appropriate species heading.

SOURCES OF DATA

Information included in each species treatment has been taken from the original description of the taxon. The draft was then compared with the information included on the slide labels themselves. In order to clarify or supplement the available information, feet and miles have been converted to the metric system and rounded off to the nearest whole number, a 5-digit computerization number unique to that species has been included in brackets [ ] after the name in the heading, and additional geopolitical information, such as countries, provinces, districts, etc., where available, have been added to assist in pinpointing collection localities. Information not included on the slide label but derived from other sources is also enclosed in brackets. We have also included map coordinates, i.e., 12.34°N, 12.34°W, when possible. Many of these have been drawn from the indices of the five-volume Mid-Century Edition of The Times Atlas of the World, (1955–1959), but many have also come from various gazetteers available in the library of Iowa State University. In some instances, collection localities were calculated from maps. In such cases the coordinates are prefixed by ∼ [= approximately].

Names of hosts follow current usage as employed in the Peters series, (1931–1987), the American Ornithologist's Union Check-list (1983), and Sibley and Monroe (1990) for birds, and Wilson and Reeder (1993) and Nowak (1991) for mammals. Host synonymy is indicated in the text.

Since this is a catalog of primary types, not of synonymies, the names of species and subspecies are listed in italicized boldface type whether they are currently valid or not. Although allotypes are not primary types, they are included here when present in the collection, albeit some are invalid in current practice. Junior synonyms are preceded by an asterisk.

Of the more than 400 types said to be at the National Museum of Natural History, we were unable to find four. They are listed here in the hope that they will be located subsequently: Amaradix bitterrootensis bitterrootensis (Dunn in Dunn and Parker, 1923); Ceratophyllus peromysci Stewart, 1928; Spicata comis scapoosei (Hubbard, 1954); and Mioctenopsylla traubi traubi Holland and Jellison, 1952.

REMARKS.—The description of this species begins with the statement that “the specimen, a single female, has been mutilated during its collection or preservation and therefore the following description is lacking in certain details.” The author then proceeds to describe the new species on the basis of the damaged specimen. After the description, which clearly applies to the female sex, he states “…a single male specimen is contained in the collection of the United States National Museum…” and cites the data given above. There is no Apache County in New Mexico, but neither Arizona nor New Mexico were states in 1905. The locality is probably New Mexico Territory, since Apache County, Arizona, borders on New Mexico. See the account for Foxella (Foxella) ignota ignota (Baker, 1895b), for further information. Now Foxella (Foxella) ignota apachina (C. Fox).

LECTOTYPE , USNM 6906, designated by Jordan, 1929a:34.

REMARKS.—There is another slide bearing a female with the same data and number. The label “cotype” has been marked out and replaced with “paratype.” More correctly this specimen is a paralectotype. Both Baker, 1904:397, and Jordan, 1929a:34, listed the type locality as Mountain View, and the latter placed this in Santa Cruz County. Johnson, 1961:24, corrected this to Santa Clara County. Although the true identity of the type host is not known for certain, it is likely a species of Tamias. Now Ceratophyllus (Amonopsyllus) ciliatus ciliatus Baker.

REMARKS.—The slide is present in the collection as USNM 104600 and bears a male and female. Ceratophyllus has been crossed out and first replaced with Thrassis petiolatus (Baker, 1904), and later by [T] fotus by P.T. Johnson. Although the author indicated that the holotype was in the USNM, he did not indicate its sex. We here designate the male as the LECTOTYPE and the female as the allolectotype. This is a junior synonym of Thrassis fotus (Jordan, 1925), according to Stewart, 1930a: 152.

HOLOTYPE , USNM 104601.

REMARKS.—There is an additional male from the same locality, but from Thomomys sp., collected on 9 June 1949. This is certainly a synonym of some other taxon, since the female is not the diagnostic sex in this genus.

LECTOTYPE , USNM 18452.

REMARKS.—According to the author there were six pairs in the type series. We have been unable to determine when, where, or by whom this lectotype was designated. Now Xenopsylla georychi (C. Fox). Georychus capensis does not occur in Angola, and Ribeiro, 1975:77, noted that Cryptomys bocagei seemed to be the preferred host. That distance east of Benguela would place the type locality at about 13.00°S, 17.45°E. There is also a female on the slide which we designate the allolectotype.

LECTOTYPE , USNM 104632, by present designation.

REMARKS.—There are two females on the same slide attributed to this species. Baker, 1895b:111, “described” Pulex Wickhami, P. Gillettei, and P. Howardii in that order. See Lewis and Lewis, 1989:168, and Lewis, 1990:125, for the history of these names. This name is a junior synonym of Orchopeas howardi howardi (Baker, 1895b), in spite of the fact that it has page priority over that name.

REMARKS.—Originally described as Pulex “Howardii” Baker. The lectotype male of this species, with the data given above, is in the BMNH and was so designated by Hopkins, 1954:198. There are three slides in the USNM collection bearing one male and two females of this species. As a result of Hopkins' action, these are now paralectotypes. Now Orchopeas howardi howardi (Baker).

NEOTYPE , USNM 104634, designated by Hopkins and Johnson (1959:82).

REMARKS.—There is no real description of this species, other than the diagnostic characters given in the key (Baker, 1895b:110). Jordan and Rothschild, 1915:54, later said that the type series of Foxella ignota ignota (as Ceratophyllus ignotus) consisted of 2 females. Baker, 1895e, described Typhlopsylla americana from Geomys bursarius, from Ames, Iowa, (Osborn), Fort Collins, Colorado, (Osborn), and Moscow, Idaho, (R.C.G.). Although he later placed T. americana as a synonym of C. ignotus, the type locality of T. americana was restricted to Ames, Iowa, and americana can not be used for any other geographical variant. The type specimen of T. americana was from Geomys bursarius collected at Ames, Iowa, on 5 September 1889 by Herbert Osborn. This slide is currently in the collection of the University of Nebraska State Museum, Division of Entomology, Lincoln. Baker labeled all specimens in his type series “type,” so these are actually syntypes of Typhlopsylla americana. In order to clear up the nomenclatural confusion, Hopkins and Johnson, 1959:82, designated the NEOTYPE listed above, and indicated that it was in the collection of the USNM. Smit and Wright (1978b:5) list a specimen with the same data as being the lectotype in the BMNH collection. Now Foxella (Foxella) ignota ignota (Baker).

TYPE, a pair, USNM 10933.

REMARKS.—Smit and Wright, 1978b:24, indicated that the lectotype female was in the BMNH, having been designated in a footnote in Hopkins and Rothschild, 1953:180. This has precedence over the “type” slides in the USNM. There is another “type” slide bearing a male and female of this species from “near Grand Cañon, Ariz.[ona] 7–6–92 [6 July 1892] from Cottontail rabbit [Sylviagus sp.]. A.B. Cordley.” These then are paralectotypes at the most. Now Cediopsylla inaequalis inaequalis (Baker).

LECTOTYPE , USNM 18456.

REMARKS.—There were two males in the type series but the author did not designate a type. We do not know when, where, or by whom the lectotype was formally designated. Smit and Wright, 1978a:12, synonymized this name with Dactylopsylla bluei bluei (C. Fox), but Traub et al., 1983:83, stated that they have seen a pair from Mustela from Orange County, California, that agreed with Fox's figures. They go on to say that they were sufficiently distinctive to be considered a full species. Now Dactylopsylla stimsoni (C. Fox).

Appendix 1

Alphabetical Index of Host/Parasite Names by Species

The following is a listing of the vertebrate hosts from which the flea species treated here were taken. Mammalian hosts are arranged after the classification employed by Wilson and Reeder (1993), while the avian hosts follow the system of Sibley and Monroe (1990). As with other parasites, there are a few species that were not associated with host animals at the time of their description although subsequent collecting has clarified host preferences in some cases. The following taxa were not initially associated with a definitive host. Junior synonyms are preceded by an asterisk.

*Aptilopsylla carlsbadensis Ewing
*Callopsylla (Callopsylla) fusca Lewis
*Ceratophyllus californicus Baker
*Ceratophyllus canadensis Baker

REQUIREMENTS FOR SMITHSONIAN SERIES PUBLICATION

Manuscripts intended for series publication receive substantive review (conducted by their originating Smithsonian museums or offices) and are submitted to the Smithsonian Institution Press with Form SI-36, which must show the approval of the appropriate authority designated by the sponsoring organizational unit. Requests for special treatment—use of color, foldouts, case-bound covers, etc.—require, on the same form, the added approval of the sponsoring authority.

Review of manuscripts and art by the Press for requirements of series format and style, completeness and clarity of copy, and arrangement of all material, as outlined below, will govern, within the judgment of the Press, acceptance or rejection of manuscripts and art.

Copy must be prepared on typewriter or word processor, double-spaced, on one side of standard white bond paper (not erasable), with 1″ margins, submitted as ribbon copy (not carbon or xerox), in loose sheets (not stapled or bound), and accompanied by original art. Minimum acceptable length is 30 pages.

Front matter (preceding the text) should include: title page with only title and author and no other information; abstract page with author, title, series, etc., following the established format; table of contents with indents reflecting the hierarchy of heads in the paper; also, foreword and/or preface, if appropriate.

First page of text should carry the title and author at the top of the page; second page should have only the author's name and professional mailing address, to be used as an unnumbered footnote on the first page of printed text.

Center heads of whatever level should be typed with initial caps of major words, with extra space above and below the head, but no other preparation (such as all caps or underline, except for the underline necessary for generic and specific epithets). Run-in paragraph heads should use period/dashes or colons as necessary.

Tabulations within text (lists of data, often in parallel columns) can be typed on the text page where they occur, but they should not contain rules or numbered table captions.

Formal tables (numbered, with captions, boxheads, stubs, rules) should be submitted as carefully typed, double-spaced copy separate from the text; they will be typeset unless otherwise requested. If camera-copy use is anticipated, do not draw rules on manuscript copy.

Taxonomic keys in natural history papers should use the aligned-couplet form for zoology and may use the multi-level indent form for botany. If cross referencing is required between key and text, do not include page references within the key, but number the keyed-out taxa, using the same numbers with their corresponding heads in the text.

Synonymy in zoology must use the short form (taxon, author, year:page), with full reference at the end of the paper under “Literature Cited.” For botany, the long form (taxon, author, abbreviated journal or book title, volume, page, year, with no reference in “Literature Cited”) is optional.

Text-reference system (author, year:page used within the text, with full citation in “Literature Cited” at the end of the text) must be used in place of bibliographic footnotes in all Contributions Series and is strongly recommended in the Studies Series: “(Jones, 1910:122)” or “…Jones (1910:122).” If bibliographic footnotes are required, use the short form (author, brief title, page) with the full citation in the bibliography.

Footnotes, when few in number, whether annotative or bibliographic, should be typed on separate sheets and inserted immediately after the text pages on which the references occur. Extensive notes must be gathered together and placed at the end of the text in a notes section.

Bibliography, depending upon use, is termed “Literature Cited,” “References,” or “Bibliography.” Spell out titles of books, articles, journals, and monographic series. For book and article titles use sentence-style capitalization according to the rules of the language employed (exception: capitalize all major words in English). For journal and series titles, capitalize the initial word and all subsequent words except articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. Transliterate languages that use a non-Roman alphabet according to the Library of Congress system. Underline (for italics) titles of journals and series and titles of books that are not part of a series. Use the parentheses/colon system for volume (number):pagination: “10(2):5–9.” For alignment and arrangement of elements, follow the format of recent publications in the series for which the manuscript is intended. Guidelines for preparing bibliography may be secured from Series Section, SI Press.

Legends for illustrations must be submitted at the end of the manuscript, with as many legends typed, double-spaced, to a page as convenient.

Illustrations must be submitted as original art (not copies) accompanying, but separate from, the manuscript. Guidelines for preparing art may be secured from the Series Section, SI Press. All types of illustrations (photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) may be intermixed throughout the printed text. They should be termed Figures and should be numbered consecutively as they will appear in the monograph. If several illustrations are treated as components of a single composite figure, they should be designated by lowercase italic letters on the illustration; also, in the legend and in text references the italic letters (underlined in copy) should be used: “Figure 9b.” Illustrations that are intended to follow the printed text may be termed Plates, and any components should be similarly lettered and referenced: “Plate 9b.” Keys to any symbols within an illustation should appear on the art rather than in the legend.

Some points of style: Do not use periods after such abbreviations as “mm, ft, USNM, NNE.” Spell out numbers “one” through “nine” in expository text, but use digits in all other cases if possible. Use of the metric system of measurement is preferable; where use of the English system is unavoidable, supply metric equivalents in parentheses. Use the decimal system for precise measurements and relationships, common fractions for approximations. Use day/month/year sequence for dates: “9 April 1976.” For months in tabular listings or data sections, use three-letter abbreviations with no periods: “Jan, Mar, Jun,” etc. Omit space between initials of a personal name:“J.B. Jones.”

Arrange and paginate sequentially every sheet of manuscript in the following order: (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) contents, (4) foreword and/or preface, (5) text, (6) appendices, (7) notes section, (8) glossary, (9) bibliography, (10) legends, (11) tables. Index copy may be submitted at page proof stage, but plans for an index should be indicated when the manuscript is submitted.
