Abstract
The Museum of Zoology of Sapienza University of Rome (MZUR) houses a collection of fleas encompassing about 1300 specimens, representing 132 species and 10 families. Most of these specimens were collected in Italy and neighboring countries. The flea collection has been digitalized and is now accessible through a freely available dataset, which includes information from the labels of each preserved specimen. Additionally, an overview of the collection, a checklist of the preserved taxa and photos of selected specimens are provided.
