Abstract

A new species of Phlebotomine sandfly is described from a cave located in Palawan, an island situated on the West of the Wallace-Huxley line in the Oriento-Australian generalized area. It has been classified among the Idiophlebotomus according to morphological characters. Male and female have been recorded in the same species on the basis of the identity of their mtDNA cytochrome b sequences. Descriptions are illustrated by drawings using a camera lucida.

Keywords: Cytochrome b; Idiophlebotomus padillarum n. sp.; Philippines; Phlebotominae.
