Description de Phlebotomus (Paraphlebotomus) riouxi n. sp. (Diptera-Psychodidae) d'Afrique du Nord

Abstract

Description of a new palearctic species from Morocco, Tunisia and Spain: Phlebotomus (Paraphlebotomus) riouxi closely related to P. chabaudi. Differential identification with the neighbouring species. The aedeagus of the male is unrecurved, a character which distinguishes P. riouxi from other species with recurved aedeagus and the basal process of the coxite is bigger and more tuffy than in P. chabaudi. For female, which has the same spermarheca with a typical terminal ring, the only available character to differentiate from P. chabaudi is the aspect of the armature in the genital atrium.
