Abstract
Morphology of the flea family Hystrichopsyllidae is considered. The subfamilies Stenoponiinae, Neopsyllinae, Doratopsyllinae, and Ctenophthalminae are distinguished. In all, 148 states of the characters of the head, thorax, modified abdominal segments, and aedeagus have been analyzed within the family Hystrichopsyllidae and the whole order Siphonaptera as well.
