[Comparison between Phlebotomus duboscqi Neveu-Lemaire, 1906, and Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli, 1786): morphological and isoenzymatic studies].
Phlebotomus duboscqi et P.papatasi are morphologically closely related. Both species can be vectors of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Old World. In some African areas these two species are sympatric. Until now the females of the two species could not be differentiated. The authors investigated morphological characters and isoenzymatic characterization. Constant differences were observed. Moreover three interbreeding attempts were unsuccessful. These two species seemed to be considered as genuine species.
