Resumen:
Polygenis (Polygenis) platensis is recorded for the first time from Brazil in the municipalities of Capão da Canoa, Tramandaí and Osório, State of Rio Grande do Sul. New host records are given for this flea with the inclusion of Ctenomys flamarioni and C. minutus. Morphological variations were also observed among the flea specimens collected on the same species of host at the same municipality, evidencing some hybridization between the two subspecies and disabling the determination of the subspecific status. The number of known species of Brazilian Siphonaptera is increased for 60.
