The bat flea fauna of Japan has not been sufficiently studied. Only two species Ischnopsyllus indicus Jordan, 1931 and I. elongatus (Curtis, 1832) have been reported by Kumada & Saito (1953) and Yamashita & Haga (1954). In the present paper, the third species, Nycteridopsylla galba Dampf, 1910 is reported from Chiba prefecture, central part of Japan, on the body of Oriental Large Noctule, Nyctalus aviator. The species of fles has been described by Dampf (1910) from "bat" of Shanghai and Ischnopsyllus wui, which is synonymous to N. galba, has been reported afterwards by Hsu (1936) from "bat" on Soochow, 60 miles west from Shanghai. The descriptions by Dampf and Hsu, both are based upon the male specimens and the female of the species has not yet been described. Therefore, the writer describe the female sex in this paper. It is thought that a few species of bat fleas have previously been known in Japan, but other species will be added to our native fauna in the future if we examine carefully many specimens of bats from the different parts of Japan.
