Lagaropsylla   signata    (Wahlgren, 1903), previously known only from the Island of Java, Indonesia is redescribed and reported for the first time in Deer Cave, Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (west coast of Borneo). Many were found clinging to the earwig    Arixenia   esau    Jordan, 1909. A similar account of a phoretic flea (   Lagaropsylla   turba    Smit, 1958) on the same species of cave-dwelling earwig has been reported in peninsular Malaysia in a well-documented association with the hairless naked bulldog bat,    Cheiromeles   torquatus    Horsfield, 1824. The association of    L.   signata    with    A.   esau    is parallel to the evolution and co-existence with bats in Deer Cave just as in the case of    L.   turba   ,    A.   esau   , and    C.   torquatus   . The evidence suggests that    L.   turba    and    L.   signata    are obligate phoretic parasites whose survival depends on    A.   esau    to access a bat host.    Arixenia   esau    is reported for the first time in Deer Cave and the occurrence of    L.   signata    on the island of Borneo represented a new record, previously being found only on the island of Java. Images of    L.   signata    attached to    A.   esau    are provided.    Xeniaria   jacobsoni    (Burr, 1912), often associated with    A.   esau    in other geographical areas, was not present in the material examined from Deer Cave. The natural history of the earwig genera    Arixenia    Jordan, 1909 and    Xeniaria    Maa, 1974 are discussed and summarized relative to their associations with phoretic fleas and their bat hosts.

New record of a phoretic flea associated with earwigs (  Dermaptera  ,   Arixeniidae  ) and a redescription of the bat flea    Lagaropsylla   signata    (  Siphonaptera  ,   Ischnopsyllidae  )
