Abstract
The tree squirrel, Sciurus niger Linnaeus, is frequently heavily parasitized by fleas. Typical specimens of the common tree squirrel flea, Orchopeas howardii Baker, make up about half of the large Texas series examined. The remainder of the specimens are obviously related to howardii , but differ in a number of minor but apparently constant characters. This segregate of howardii seemingly is entitled to at least subspecific recognition. The essential differences are included in the following description.
