title: Scanning electron microscopy of eggs of Phlebotomus (synphlebotomus) martini and P. (Syn.) celiae (Diptera: Phlebotominae).
abstract: The eggs of the two closely related species, Phlebotomus (Synphlebotomus) martini and P. (Syn.) celiae have clearly distinguishable chorionic sculpturing. A new category of egg shell sculpturing in sandflies is proposed to include these species and P. duboscqi.
