- Pulex (Pulex) simulans Baker, 1895 Material examined— Hidalgo: Tlanchinol, C. familiaris, 5.VI. 1997, B. Salceda, 2 males, det. R.E. Lewis, 2000. Remarks—This is the most widely distributed flea in Mexico, so far found in 21 states. Because of the similarities between this species and Pulex irritans Linnaeus, some incorrect identifications may exist, therefore some records may be misleading. This species is mainly a parasite of carnivores, deer and larger rodents (Lewis, 1972). Its occurrence on a dog located in the cloud forest near human settlement is not surprising.
