During 2008-2009 2,401 Phlebotomine sand flies were collected in 14 limestone caves in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand to determine the prevalence and type of cavernicolous species that have the potential to be leishmaniasis vectors. Twenty species belonging to the genera Chinius, Nemopalpus, Phlebotomus and Sergentomyia were identified. An additional man-biting species, P. major major was recorded for the first time in Thailand. Ecological observations of the habitats were made. It is expected the diversity of cavernicolous sand flies is more than currently known. An updated list of 26 phlebotomine species for Thailand is provided.
2008年至2009年期间，在泰国北碧府的14个石灰岩洞穴中采集了2401只白蛉，以确定有可能成为利什曼病传播媒介的洞穴栖息种类的流行情况和类型。鉴定出了属于Chinius、Nemopalpus、白蛉属和司蛉属的20个物种。另外，在泰国首次记录到一种嗜人白蛉——大劣按蚊。对栖息地进行了生态观察。预计洞穴栖息白蛉的多样性比目前已知的更多。提供了泰国26种白蛉的最新名录。
