Abstract : |
During entomological surveys conducted by the author in the whole of the Balochistan Province in 1996-2001, Phlebotomus sergenti Parrot (1917) (N=140) and Phlebotomus alexandri (1928) (N=82) were collected from 11 and five localities, respectively. These localities appear to be the new record in the literature to date. Taxonomic characters previously remained un-described, unmeasured and unfigured are described, measured and illustrated in the present paper. Pakistanese specimens are compared with the published data of these species from other countries. Differential diagnosis of these species is also given. A key is constructed for the identification of these two Pakistanese species, |
