and are two phlebotomine sand fly species morphologically similar and differing in males only by the shape of the copulatory valves which are bifurcated in , tip long and tapered in .
A count of the median coxite setae was carried out on 208 specimens from the collections of Dedet and of Parrot, identified previously as and on 38 male sand flies captured during the year 2012-2013, in order to seek the presence of atypical form.
The analysis revealed the presence of 33/246 (13%) atypical previously confused with species and whose distribution is mainly located in the semi-arid and arid bioclimatic regions.
This study proved for the first time the presence of atypical form of in Algeria.
[物种A]和[物种B]是两种形态相似的白蛉物种,仅在雄性个体上有所不同,其交配瓣的形状在[物种A]中呈分叉状,在[物种B]中尖端长且呈锥形。
对德代特和帕罗特收藏的208个先前鉴定为[物种A]和[物种B]的标本,以及2012 - 2013年捕获的38只雄性白蛉进行中突刚毛计数,以寻找非典型[物种A]形态的存在。
分析发现存在33/246(13%)先前与[物种B]混淆的非典型[物种A],其分布主要位于半干旱和干旱生物气候区域。
本研究首次证明阿尔及利亚存在非典型形态的[物种A]。
