Cladistic analysis of Subfamily Bruchomyiinae (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Zootaxa, 2016
Subfamily Bruchomyiinae is comprised of 60 species and has been referred to as the most primitive within the Psychodidae. The assumed sister-group relationship with Phlebotominae is based on ecological constraints of their environment. A cladistics analysis based on 29 characters and 52 species revealed the distinction of an Old World clade ...

The Lutzomyia Flaviscutellata Complex (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1975
The Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) flaviscutellata complex is a small but distinctive group of forest sand flies with a marked preference for biting small mammals, which may be related to the unusual structure of the mouthparts. In several areas females transmit parasites of the Leishmania mexicana complex among rodents, and in one they commonly transmit it ...
