Abstract
Fleas were collected from mammals during the period 1990-1992 in two upper peninsula counties. Identified specimens were compared to existing distribu tion records for both parasite and host. Only those records which are newly documented for county, upper peninsula or Michigan are listed. We report o ne previously unknown flea species and five new host records for Michigan. One host record is new for the upper peninsula. In addition, seven new host /parasite combinations are recorded for two central upper peninsula countie s.
