Resumen:
Dromiciops, nocturnal marsupial genus endemic to the temperate forests of southern South America, is the only living representative of the Order Microbiotheria. Here we study the Siphonapteran fauna of Dromiciops gliroides ?monito del monte? from Los Alerces National Park, Chubut Province. We also present the southernmost record for Argentina of the association between D. gliroides and the fleas Plocopsylla (Schrammapsylla) diana and Chiliopsylla allophyla allophyla, registering for the first time both Siphonaptera in Chubut Province. Our result extends and adds to current parasite biodiversity for Patagonia and contributes new information about the ecology of D. gliroides in southern Argentina.
