Extract

The distribution and bionomics of the species of Phlebotomus in N.W. Persia are described.

The distribution of Leishmania in this area and the possible relations of sandflies to it are discussed.

Observations on the quite distinct and well-defined hours of activity of the different species are recorded.

P. chinensis is recorded from Persia for the first time.

The diagnosis of the female of P. caucasicus is established.

P. wenyoni, sp. n., P. kandelaki, Schour., and P. perniciosus var. tobbi, var. n., are described.

A simple method of breeding sandflies while travelling is described.

P. perniciosus var. tobbi was infected by feeding on cultures of L. donovani of Mediterranean origin.

P. caucasicus was infected by feeding on cultures of L. tropica.
