Extract

Notes are given on the use of a chloral hydrate solution for clearing sandflies (Phlebotomus). Descriptions are given of three new species of sandflies from Uganda and Kenya (Phlebotomus (Sergentomyia) edwini, P. (Sergentomyia) kitonyii and P. (Sergentomyia) teesdalei spp. n.) and of the male of P. (Sergentomyia,) multidens Heisch, Guggisberg & Teesdale. Supplementary descriptive notes are given on Phlebotomus (Phlebotomus) rodhaini Parr., Phlebotomus (Sintonius) graingeri Heisch, Guggisberg & Teesdale, with illustrations of the spermatheca in both species, and the occurrence of morphological variation in the male genitalia of Phlebotomus (Sergentomyia) schwetzi Adl., Thdr. & Parr, in Kenya is discussed in relation to season. Data are given showing natural infection rates with flagellate Protozoa in populations of Phlebotomus (Serigentomyia) garnhami Heisch, Guggisberg & Teesdale in part of the Kitui district of Kenya.
