NOMINA INSECTA NEARCTICA 1125 1950-59 69116 INTRODUCTION 1960-69 l5/5 1970-79 l5/0 1980-89 5/0 The Siphonaptera portion of the Nomina Insecta 1990-96 0/0 Nearctica series differs in one important aspect from the remainder of the Insecta: The author recognizes The following table lists the total number of names and subspecies. Subspecies are listed in the check list as total valid species in each of the families of the synonyms of the valid species, but each currently Siphonaptera. Valid names are full species. In this recognized subspecies is indicated by the notation table, unlike above, subspecies are not listed as valid (subspecies). All synonymous names of a valid species species. are listed in chronological order. Therefore the position of a simple synonym (i.e. not a subspecies) is not meant to imply that it is a synonym of any particular subspecies of the valid name.

The number to the left of the slash (f) is the number of names erected during the decade that are currently considered to be valid, while that to the right is the number of junior synonyms or homonyms erected during the decade. For the Siphonaptera, the number of valid names includes currently accepted subspecific names. The nature of taxonomy makes these figures highly subjective, but unlike some other areas of the world the fauna of North America north of Mexico is well known and few additional taxa are expected. However, the subjective nature of the infraspecific category itself makes it likely that the number of valid North American taxa will diminish rather than increase as generic revisions are completed. l758-59 2/0 l760-69 0/0 l770-79 Oil l780-89 0/0 l790-99 0/0 l800-09 2/l l8l0-l9 l/O l820-29 012 l830-39 0/9 l840-49 0/3 l850-59 0/4 l860-69 2/0 l870-79 l/6 l880-89 3/8 l890-99 20/9 1900-09 60127 19l0-l9 21112 1920-29 54122 1930-39 34/32 1940/49 60/39 SIPHONAPTERA: INTRODUCTION AND ST ATJ STlCS 1126 NOMINA INSECTA NEARCTICA ALTERNATIVE FAMILY NAMES This list contains all of the family names that have been applied to the order Siphonaptera.
