Aphropsylla Jordan, 1932

(Figs. 1-18)

Type species. Aphropsylla conversus Jordan. Novitates Zoologicae, 1932:292-293.

Aphropsylla species were originally placed in the genus Ctenocephalus Kolenati (now Ctenocephalides Stiles and Collins) until Jordan (1932) noted the generic distinction in the two genera by the position of the genal comb relative to the oral angle of the frons. Only three species of Aphropsylla occur in a limited region of east Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda).
