Abstract
ROTHSCHILD, in 1911, separated the three species of fleas, X. cheopis, X. astia and X. brasiliensis of the genus Xenopsylla found on rats. X. cheopis is widely distributed in the tropics and is the principal plague flea in India. The three species (♀♀)mentioned here can be easily identified by the shape of the spermatheca. Until now, it has been reported that X. cheopis has a single spermatheca1–3 (Fig. 1).
