The fauna of fleas (Siphonaptera) parasitizing small mammals was analyzed using collections from a field study undertaken during 1950–1962. Samples were collected from 19 sites in the Republic of Karelia and 2 sites in Murmanskaya Oblast. In total, 4093 individual fleas were examined; 22 species belonging to four families were identified, namely Hystrichopsyllidae (9), Ceratophylloidae (9), Leptopsyllidae (3) and Ischnopsyllidae (1). Hosts are represented by 18 species of four orders: 5 on insectivores (Eulipotyphla), 11 on rodents (Rodentia), 1 on a bat (Chiroptera) and 1 on a carnivore (Carnivora). The data obtained from the collection have extended our knowledge of the species diversity of fleas on small mammals of the Republic of Karelia and Murmanskaya Oblast.
