title: Application of numerical taxonomic methods on phlebotominae.
abstract: Numerical analyses (factorial analysis, ascending hierarchical classification, and cladistic) were carried out on morphological characters of adult phlebotomine sandflies. Contributions emerge to the taxonomy and phylogeny of the group. Classical taxonomy is largely confirmed for Old World groups, though the positions of some are adjusted.
