A study of phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Yunnan Province, China. Sergentomyia (Sergentomyia) wangi n. sp.
Among the phlebotomine sandflies collected in a lime-stone cave of 21 degrees 42' N, 10 degrees 23' E and 700 m above sea level on 14th August, Mengyuan, Mengla County, Xishuangbanna District, Yunnan Province, two males of the group fallax of subgenus Sergentomyia are quite different in morphology with those hitherto recorded in the literature.
