Uropsylla tasmanica is a species of flea in the insect order Siphonaptera endemic to Australia.

[1][2][3] It belongs to the subfamily Uropsyllinae that is placed either in the family Lycopsyllidae[4] or Pygiopsyllidae.

[1] Uropsylla tasmanica occurs in Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, southern Western Australia,[1] and southern Queensland.

[3] They are known to feed on marsupials, most notably dasyurid such as Tasmanian devils and quolls, and have been suggested to live on the now-extinct Tasmanian tiger.

[2][5] The larvae are endoparasitic, living subcutaneously and consuming subdermal tissue.
