Abstract:
Frontopsylla(Frontopsylla)ochotona sp.nov.is closely related to Frontopsylla(Fr.)adixsterna Liu,Shao et Liu,1976,but can be distinguished by the following characteristics:1.In males,the immutable processes exhibit a wide,finger-like shape with asymmetrical anterior and posterior edges at their ends.The posterior edge of st.VIII lacks a deep depression,and the distal arm of st.IX is split into two lobes.2.In females,the posterior edge of the st.VII abdominal plate lacks a deep sinus,but the posterior end has a truncated or arc-shaped broad leaf.The posterior edge of t.VIII has a wide sinus,distinguishing it from F.adixsterna and other species in this genus.The type specimen was collected in Linzhi City,Xizang Autonomous Region of China,in November 2018,from an agricultural area at an altitude of approximately 3 000 m.The host species include Ochotona sp.,Niviventer confucianus,and Pitymys leucurus.
