title: [Rhadinopsylla (Rhadinopsylla) eivissensis Beaucournu and Alcover stat. nov.: complement of description and discussion of the status of related species (Siphonaptera, Hystrichopsyllidae)].
abstract: Rhadinopsylla (R.) eivissensis B. and A. of Eivissa, Balearic Isles (Spain) belongs to the masculana complex, which is defined by the authors. This species is easily characterized in the male with the characters of the sternum VII, of the tergum IX, and the phallosome. The female is closely related to that of the R. masculana. The masculana complex includes actually, in addition to R. masculana Jordan and Rothschild from North Africa, R. eivissensis and R. beillardae Beaucournu and Launay (stat. nov.) from Spain. The biogeographical interest of this complex, primitively bound to the Gerbillidae, is stressed.
