Abstract

The subgenus Synphlebotomus of Phlebotomus is reviewed, and an illustrated key is given for the six African and two non-African species. The status of P. rossi De Meillon & Lavoipierre, the suspected vector of dermal leishmaniasis among animals in South West Africa, is revised, and it is described and illustrated in detail.
