Obituary
Shortly after mailing Flea News 49 we were informed by Dr. R. L. C. Pilgrim, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand of the death of Dr. Maria Suciu . He later received an extensive obituary and bibliography from Dr. F. Aioanei, a colleague in Bucharest. Following is a translation of a portion of this obituary and a list of Dr. Suciu's publications that dealt with fleas.
Maria Suciu
Maria Suciu was born in Giurgiu, Romania, on 9 January 1932 and died in Bucharest on 24 September 1994. She received her secondary education in Giurgiu, graduating in 1950. From 1950 to 1954 she attended the University of Bucharest. There she majored i n Biology, graduating with a License en Science Naturelles. Upon graduation she was appointed preparator in the Invertebrate Zoology laboratory at the University. Here she remain ed until retirement in 1989. In 1970 she was awarded the Doctorate of Natural Sciences for her thesis entitled Contributions to the study of the systematics, ecology and zoogeography of the Siphonaptera (Latreille) of Roumania. The study was based on over 3500 specimens representing 65 species and subspecies of fleas. Twenty-nine of these were reported from Romania for the first time, including one new species, Ctenophthalmus fransmiti Suciu, 1969, and one new subspecies, Ctenophthalmus capriciosus carpathicus Suciu, 1969.
Although I (REL) never met her personally, I carried on a sporadic correspondence with her from the mid 1960's until recently and she was a recipient of Flea News from its inception in 1963 until the present. As one of her colleagues described her "...[M aria] was exact and reliable in her profession and research, but modest in her private life, this belle femme was impeccable and impetuous in her deportment, always gay spirited, always full of humor [albeit] sometimes accented with irony [and] never unpleaseant".
Dr. Suciu was author or coauthor of 83 technical works and presentations, 41 of which dealt with ectoparasites. Following is a list of the latter. Works are all in the Romanian language unless cited in some other tongue. Coauthors are included at the end of citations.

Following are the few notices received since the last issue:
Entoprint is a label printing program that allows its user to print thousands of pin labels with a few keystrokes. It also serializes labels and features other special formatting options. It may be used with laser, inkjet or dot-matrix printers. It requires Syste m 7 and 4 mb RAM. Available in Macintosh version (#EPM-01) for $29.95, Windows version (#EPW-01) for $34.95 and a site license version is available for $125.00. Interested parties should write to: Entomation, 274 2 Beacon Hill, Ann Arbor, MI 48104-6502. (313) 971 6033. (entomation@aol.com)
While on the subject of labels, there has been much traffic on Entomo-L about computer-generated labels for museum specimens, including the best papers, printers and techniques. These discussions have been archived by Steve Lingafelter (lingafel@falcon.cc.ukans.edu) and are available by Gopher or anonymous ftp from gopher.ent.iastate.edu (Iowa State's EntoGopher Server) in the Discussions directory.
A recent United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service research report contained the following:
Fleas
Repellents are getting another look against cat fleas. Scientist John Klotz and colleagues tested it [?] and other potential repellents against cat fleas. Th e most effective: fencholic acid, which cut back on flea bites by more than 85% for 20 days in lab tests. He's also testing boric acid as an insecticide against cat fleas and against ants, including the carpenter, ghost and pharaoh ants. A key advantage of boric acid: it's effective at very low concentrations of 1% or less. Contact: John Klotz, (904) 374 5989.
An insect growth regulator called pyriproxyfen also shows promise for controlling cat fleas. At concentrations of only.025%, pyriproxyfen reduce d fleas by 80% over seven months after being sprayed on infested carpeting. It's effective at much lower rates than fenoxycarb or methoprene, two insect growth regulators that are currently registered for flea control. Pyriproxyfen is near FDA] approval, pending studies on how long its residues persist. Contact: Richard S. Patterson, (904) 374 5910.
The Honourable Miriam Rothschild has very kindly passed her collection of some 1500 flea reprints to the library of the Royal Entomological Society, London. Copies of particular papers can be sent to interested parties for a charge of 7p./page (RES Fellows and members) or 14p./page (others). (Postage + VAT extra). Contact Mrs. J.M. Ruffle, Librarian, Royal Entomological Society, 41 Queen's Gate, London, SW7 5HR, UK Telephone: 071-584 8361. Fax: 071-581 8505
The Society of Vector Ecology is an international organization of professional entomologists, biologists, and others whose interests include biology, ecology, research, prevention, and management of insects and other arthropods and organism of public health importance. The Society holds an annual conference in the continental United States, regional meetings, and a European Region conference annually for the purpose of sharing information among its membership.
This year's annual conference will be held at the Holiday Inn University Park in Fort Collins, CO, October 8-11, 1995. For additional information, contact Ms. Justine Keller, P.O. Box 87, Santa Ana, CA 92702. Phone: (714) 971 2421, Ext. 148. Fax: (714) 971 3940
WANTED -- A copy of G.P. Holland's The fleas of Canada, Alaska and Greenland (Siphonaptera), [1985]. Will pay fair price plus postage. J. Kucera, 5930 S. Sultan Circle, Murray, UT 84107.
For those of you who received copies of; Adams, N.E. & R.E. Lewis, 1995, An annotated catalogue of primary types of Siphonaptera in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology. Number 560; following are some notes:
P. 72. Praeopsylla = Praopsylla
Also, although Beaucournu & Rahm, 1975, indicate that the holotype male and allotype female of Dinopsyllus (Dinopsyllus) macrochaetus B. & R., 1975, were deposited in the USNM, these specimens have not been located.
In the March 18th issue of the New Scientist, in a column called Netropolitan that concerns itself with network matters is a mention of the file of popular cartoons by the cartoonist Gary Larson in the Entomology Gopher Server here at Iowa State. After a brief discussion the section ends "The same server has other intriguing contents such as 'Flea News', which may sound like something dreamed up by Larson but is actually a twice-yearly publication about...you guessed it."
The following colleagues have provided reprints and other assistance since the last issue of Flea News: N.E. Adams, J.C. Beaucournu, A. Benton, D. Cyprich, L. Durden, M. Krumpá l, J. Kucera, LI Chengyi, P. Linardi, LIU Jun, LIU Quan, H.E. Ponce-Ulloa, H. Riebero & WU Houyong. Their cooperation is encouraged and is most appreciated.

Recipient List
It has been a number of years since we included a list of recipients in an issue of Flea News. Much has happened in the communications world since then, and this, combined with the update request accompanying the last issue, suggests that a revised mailin g list might now be appropriate. Where available, I am including e-mail addresses for those with access to electronic mail.
