Summary: | Sandflies were found in widely scattered localities in Thailand in varied numbers. Daytime resting places for the adults included caves, termite hills, abandoned houses, ancient stone sanctuaries, air-raid shelters, tree hollows, loose bark of dead standing trees and rock crevices. Of fifteen species, P. major major, P. teshi, S. anodontis, S. gemmea, S. hodgsoni hodgsoni, S. perturbans, S. punjabensis and N. vietnamensis were here recorded for the first time in Thailand. P. argentipes and P. major major are interesting in view of their potential as disease vectors. |
