[Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera-Psychodidae) of the isle of Cyprus. I--Description of Phlebotomus (Transphlebotomus economidesi n. sp].
Description of a new palearctic species from Cyprus: Phlebotomus (Transphlebotomus) economidesi. The deposited holotype is a female because of the particularity of the streaked spermathecae and its non dilated ducts. Four to six spines are implanted on the style of the male, but its differential diagnosis with the closely related species P. mascittii and P. canaaniticus is difficult. The distributions of these Transphlebotomus species are mentioned.
