Quantitative phenetics and taxonomy of some phlebotomine taxa [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
Elucidating the evolution of Phlebotominae is important not only to revise their taxonomy, but also to help understand the origin of the genus Leishmania and its relationship with humans. Our study is a phenetic portrayal of this history based on the genetic relationships among some New Word and Old Word taxa.
