*Commonly called the 'rabbit flea'
*Both genal and pronotal combs present
*Genal comb obviously oblique
*Behaviour synchronised with the reproductive cycle of the rabbit
**Adults spend most of their time off the host taking occasional blood feeds
**Shortly before the doe gives birth the adult fleas attach to the ears of the rabbit and feed producing lots of faeces
**After parturition the adult fleas move onto the kittens where they feed, mate and lay eggs
**The new adult fleas emerge from the pupa before the kittens leave the nest[[Category:Parasites]][[Category:Rabbit]]
