Diagnosis. This species can be recognized, in live specimens, by the lack of bright white lines on the thorax and the lack of well-defined white markings near the coronal suture on the head. Females have a prominent black apex of the subgenital plate.

Distribution. Neotropics ( Brazil, Dominican Republic, Panama, Puerto Rico) ( Ouvrard 2020), USA (FL) (Halbert 2004).

Host plants. Inga Mill. spp.

Comments. The first find of Euceropsylla russoi in Florida was on Inga sp. in Miami in February 2004 by DPI inspector Haydee Escobar (FSCA# E2004-950). This species is found more commonly in Florida than E. martorelli . So far, collections are restricted to Miami-Dade, Collier, and Palm Beach counties.
