Type host: unknown, from Story Co., Iowa.

Deposition, host records, and locality: HWML 101694, 101695, and 101696, G. lutescens /Ackley 2013; HWML 101701, G. lutescens /Ackley 2013; HWML 101709 and 101710, G. lutescens /Ackley 2013; HWML 92037, 101739, 101740, 101741, 101742, 101743, and 101744, G. lutescens /Ackley 2013; HWML 101753, 101754, and 101755, G. lutescens /Ackley 2013; HWML 101769 and 101770, G. lutescens /Ackley 2013; HWML 101771, 101772, 101773, 101774, 101775, 101776, 101777, 101778, 101779, 101780, 101781, 101782, 101783, and 101784, G. lutescens /Ackley 2013.

Remarks: This flea is primarily an ectoparasite of the pocket gopher genera, Geomys and Thomomys . Although Fox (1940) indicated that Ctenophthalmus pseudagyrtes Baker was the most common flea from gophers in the eastern United States, he noted that F. ignota was very common on these hosts in the western states. Holdenried & Morlan (1956) reported heavy infections of F. ignota on pocket gophers in northern New Mexico. McAllister et al. (2013) reported F. ignota from G. lutescens in northwestern Oklahoma. At CPBS, F. ignota was the only flea collected from G. lutescens .
