He got the initial segment, the sort, wrong, however, he was the first to utilize felis as an animal category name for both ugs. The Entomological Society of America gives all creepy crawlies regular names, so Ctenocephalides felis (with the right sort) was authoritatively the feline bug.
Bouché could have taken a similar insect from a canine, fox, or lynx in France, and today we may be considering it the pooch, fox, or lynx bug. There is a canine insect — Ctenocephalides canis — which, as you may speculate, was first depicted after its expulsion from a pooch. Be that as it may, this is an uncommon animal types and has only from time to time been trapped in an insect look around in North America the previous 30 years.
