Abstract: During entomological surveys conducted inthe whole of Balochistan, Pakistan during 1996-2001, four female flies of the subgenus Phlebotomus Rondani and Berte and 2 flies of the subgenus Parratomyia Theodor were 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.
