Abstract: Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) constitute a large group of flies, many of which have been described as vectors of leishmaniasis, a disease caused by Leishmania (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) parasites. In Tunisia, a total of 17 species belonging to both genera Phlebotomus and Sergentomyia were described. In this work we report on an abnormality found in spermathecae of a female specimen of Phlebotomus (Larroussius) longicuspis Nitzulescu, 1930. Sandflies were collected in SidiSaad locality, … Show more
