A D Fuenzalida et al. Med Vet Entomol. 2017 Jun.

Abstract

A new species of phlebotomine sandfly is described and illustrated using male and female specimens collected in the provinces of Jujuy and Tucumán, Argentina. Both male and female morphological characters allow the inclusion of the new species within the Pintomyia genus, Pifanomyia subgenus, serrana series (Diptera: Psychodidae). The species was denominated as Pintomyia salomoni n. sp., and is closely related to Pintomyia (Pifanomyia) torresi and Pintomyia (Piffanomyia) boliviana.

Keywords: Diptera; Phlebotominae; Pintomyia salomoni sp. n; northwest Argentina.
