10ª Contribuição ao estudo dos Flebotomus (Diptera: Psychodidae) Flebotomus longispinus Mangabeira, 1942

The outer chorionic sculpturing of the eggs of thirteen species of neotropical sandflies was examined by scanning electron microscope. Sculpture patterns are species specific and include polygons, parallel ridges and mountain or volcano‐like structures. Two closely related and undescribed species of the intermedia group were distinguished by this means. The role of sculpturing in plastron respiration is discussed.

Phlebotomine larval taxonomy is briefly reviewed with particular reference to New World species, of which under one fifth have been adequately described as immature stages. A new numerical chaetotaxy is proposed following studies on the larvae of six species from Brazil. Setal numeration is used in a manner which demonstrates apparent segmental homologies and the use of letter designations for some setae has been reduced. With two exceptions the mesothoracic, metathoracic and abdominal setae are homologized with those of the posterior prothorax, and the anterior prothoracic setae are regarded as atypical.
