Abstract
Rhadinsopsylla media Smit, 1957, previously was known from only 7 specimens, all males. Eighteen additional specimens of this species, including 12 females, were examined from northern Minnesota and Isle Royale, Michigan. The female of R. media is described and additions to the original description of the species are presented. Specimens of R. media are now known from Red Squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), Short-tailed Weasels (Mustela erminea), and Southern Red-backed Voles (Clethrionomys gapperi = Myodes gapperi). The greatest number of specimens was collected from Red Squirrels during the winter months.
