Sandflies (Phlebotominae)

  • Chapter
Book cover Medical Insects and Arachnids

Abstract

Phlebotomine sandflies are delicate, hairy flies with long slender legs. Of the 700 or so species, only about 70 species are thought to be involved in the transmission of disease to man. The flies are easily distinguished from other small Diptera when alive by the characteristic manner in which they hold their pointed wings above their body (like a vertical V), especially from other members of the family Psychodidae to which they belong.
