The status of phlebotomine sand flies in relationship to the family Psychodidae (Diptera) is reviewed. It is concluded that sand flies should be given familial recognition as Phlebotomidae, divided into the subfamilies Phlebotominae and Bruchomyiinae. A comparison is made between the evolution of Psychodidae and Phlebotomidae, and it is concluded that the two families represent contrasting evolutionary experiments at an early stage of the diversification of Diptera.
本文综述了白蛉与蛾蠓科（双翅目）的关系。结论是，白蛉应被认可为一个科，即白蛉科，分为白蛉亚科和布鲁氏白蛉亚科。对蛾蠓科和白蛉科的进化进行了比较，得出的结论是，这两个科代表了双翅目多样化早期阶段的两种截然不同的进化试验。
