New Record of Sergentomyia murghabiensis Perfiliev (1939) from Pakistan (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae)
Abstract: During entomological surveys conducted by the author in the whole of the Balochistan Province during 1996-2001, Sergentomyia (Sergentomyia) murghabiensis Perfiliev (1939) was collected (N= 17) from 6 localities. These localities appear to be the new record of this species in the literature to date. This is to the author`s knowledge the first record of this species from Pakistan. Taxonomic characters not described by earlier workers are described and illustrated. Differential diagnosis of this species with its closest allies is also given. Results are compared with the published data of this species available in the existing literature.
