Abstract:

For the first time Ischnopsyllidae are reported from Ivory Coast. They comprise three species of Lagaropsylla, one of which is described as L. senckenbergiana n. sp. The hosts of the new taxon, Chaerephon russata and Ch. aloysiisabaudiae, and of Lagaropsylla sp., Ch. nigeriae, represent first records of these bats for Ivory Coast.
