Ischnopsyllidae

An Ischnopsyllidae's body is generally less 5mm, which is laterally compressed to easier move through bat fur. == Life cycle ==

Eggs are typically laid in a bats roost. The larva then eats organic matter in the roost before developing a cocoon near the roost. After it emerges as an adult, it finds a host to attach to. ==Genera==
