Some Interesting Sandflies of Subgenera Phlebotomus Rondani and Berte in
Rondani (1840)and Parratomyia Theodor (1948) (Diptera, Psychodidae)
from Pakistan
Abstract:
During entomological surveys conducted inthe whole of Balochistan,
Pakistan during 1996-2001, four female flies of the subgenus Phlebotomus
Rondani and Berteand 2 flies of the subgenus Parratomyia Theodorwere collected and these are described, measured and illustrated.Their taxonomic
affinity is also discussed. Morphometrically, these flies are found to differ
significantly from their closest allies of the subgenera. Accordingly, these
flies are treated here as species [A], [B], [C], [D] and [A] of the subgenera
Phlebotomus and Parratomyia, respectively.
