Remarks: This flea is primarily an ectoparasite of the pocket gopher genera, Geomys and Thomomys . Although Fox (1940) indicated that Ctenophthalmus pseudagyrtes Baker was the most common flea from gophers in the eastern United States , he noted that F. ignota was very common on these hosts in the western states. Holdenried & Morlan (1956) reported heavy infections of F. ignota on pocket gophers in northern New Mexico . McAllister et al. (2013) reported F. ignota from G. lutescens in northwestern Oklahoma . At CPBS, F. ignota was the only flea collected from G. lutescens .
