Taxonomic update and geographic distribution of fleas of the genus Ctenophthalmus Kolenati 1856 in the Western Palearctic Region (Insecta: Siphonaptera: Ctenophthalmidae). Among fleas (Siphonaptera), the genus Ctenophthalmus is the one that comprises the largest number of taxa and is also characterized by a large geographical range. Here, we present a taxonomic revision of the Western Paleartic subgenera, groups, species and subspecies. We recognized a total of 143 taxa (57 species and 86 subspecies). These taxa are clustered into 23 groups of species, which fall into seven of the 16 subgenera of the genus Ctenophthalmus. According to Hopkins & Rothschild (1966), the subgenus Ctenophthalmus would only include the agyrtes group, itself divided into subgroups. We decided to raise these subgroups to group status to clarify taxonomic relationships within the subgenus Ctenophthalmus. Within this subgenus, the arvernus group is renamed baeticus, the fransmiti group is confirmed, and the egregius group is created. For each taxon, we provided information on geographical distribution, mammalian hosts, and host specificity.
