Uropsylla tasmanica

Uropsylla tasmanica is a species of flea in the insect order Siphonaptera endemic to Australia. It belongs to the subfamily Uropsyllinae that is placed either in the family Lycopsyllidae or Pygiopsyllidae.

Uropsylla tasmanica occurs in Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, southern Western Australia, and southern Queensland. They are known to feed on marsupials, most notably dasyurid such as Tasmanian devils and quolls, and have been suggested to live on the now-extinct Tasmanian tiger. The larvae are endoparasitic, living subcutaneously and consuming subdermal tissue.
