Hectopsylla
Hectopsylla is a genus of fleas in the family Hectopsyllidae that parasitize non-volant mammals, birds, and bats. The genus comprises thirteen species, six of which were described in whole or part by Karl Jordan between 1906–1942. Two of the species in "Hectopsylla", "H. psittaci" and "H. pulex", go under common names, with "H. psittaci" identified as the sticktight flea and "H. pulex" identified as the chiggerflea. Hastritter and Méndez (2000) consider the genus "Rhynchopsyllus" a junior system of the genus.
