As a result of extensive surveys of sand flies carried out during 1987-90 in Thailand, species including a man-biter, Phlebotomus hoepplii, and cattle-biters, P. argentipes and P. major major, were discovered in Kanchanaburi Province. The human-baited catches revealed a low density of P. hoepplii and the biting occurred during 2100-2300 hours. Phlebotomus hoepplii was also found feeding on buffalo and inhabiting Pha-Thai Cave, Lampang Province. Phlebotomus argentipes was also a common cave-dweller and therefore had a wider distribution than P. major major, which was only collected in Sara Buri and Kanchanaburi provinces. The 3 species inhabited forest environments close to foothills and on stream banks. Although there is yet no evidence that they are involved in leishmaniasis transmission, the bionomics of the species are of importance and should be studied further.
1987年至1990年期间，在泰国对白蛉进行了广泛调查，结果在北碧府发现了包括叮人白蛉何氏白蛉（Phlebotomus hoepplii）以及叮牛白蛉银足白蛉（P. argentipes）和大劣按蚊指名亚种（P. major major）在内的多种白蛉。人饵诱捕显示何氏白蛉密度较低，且叮咬发生在21:00至23:00时。何氏白蛉还被发现以水牛为食，并栖息在南邦府的帕泰洞穴。银足白蛉也是常见的洞穴栖息者，因此分布范围比仅在沙拉武里府和北碧府采集到的大劣按蚊指名亚种更广。这3种白蛉栖息在靠近山麓和溪流岸边的森林环境中。尽管尚无证据表明它们参与利什曼病传播，但这些白蛉的生物学特性很重要，应进一步研究。
