Abstract:
Objective To observe the ultrastructure of pharyngeal armature of 7 species of sandflies in China. Methods The pharyngeal armatures of various sandflies were studied by scanning electron microscopy. Results The pharyngeal armature of sandfly consisted of pointed-teeth with various shape, number and arrangement among different species. Conclusion Such differences may provide the morphological proof for identification of species.
