3. Introduction to psychodidae
Morphology of phlebotomine
Life cycle of phlebotomine
Adult behaviour
Medical importance
Control measures
4. At the end of this chapter, the student shall be able to:
Understand the three types of leshimaniasis infection
Describe the behavior of adult phlebotomine sand fly
Point out very important differentiating features of
larva, pupa, and adult stage of phlebotomine sand
flies
5. Family : Psychodidae
Genus: Phlebotomus (Sand fly)
3 sub generas:areolas
1. Phlebotomus (only in old world: semi – arid &
Savannah areas in preference to forests)
2. Lutzomyia (only in the new world tropics: in
forested areas of Central & South America)
6. 3. Sergentomyia (only in old world: especially
Indian Sub – region, also in Africa & Central
Asia)
Only Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia are more
important b/c they suck blood & are vectors
of disease.
A few species of Sergentomyia bite people,
but they are not disease vectors.
7. Most important species:
P. papatasi
P. sergenti
P. argentipes
P. ariasi
P. perniciosus
L. longipalpis
L. flaviscutellata complex
8. Adult flies also called sand flies
(confusion????)
In some parts of the world
ceratopogonidae and Black flies
(Simuliidae) are also called sand flies.
No details are given for distinguishing
between the adults of Phlebotomus,
Lutzomyia and Sergentomyia.
9. Pale (sandy) in color
Very minute in size
Body (head, thorax & abdomen) and
wings covered with dense long hairs
10. Head carries:
◦ 2 dark big compound eyes
◦ 2 long antennae (16 segements) & similar in male
and female
◦ 2 maxillary palps (5 segments) bent over the
proboscis
◦ Short proboscis
11. Thorax : humped (humpback) and carries
◦ 3 pairs of legs (long and slender)
◦ One pair of hairy wings (lanceolate in outline)
attached to the mesothorax
Abdomen:
◦ Slender in the male with straight outline, ending
in a pair of claspers
◦ Bulging in the female with convex outline
ending in a pair of cerci
12. 2. Egg
Elongate ovoid, dark and ornamented
Minute; deposited in cracks, holes,
termite mounds/hills
Laid singly (30 – 70 eggs at each
oviposition)
13. 3. Larva (4 instars): feed on organic matter
◦ Divided into head, thorax (3 segments) and
abdomen (9 segments)
◦ All segments including head carry serrated
(matchstick) hairs
◦ The abdomen has pseudopods
◦ The last abdominal segment carries 4 long bristles
(caudal setae)
14. 4. Pupa
Composed of cephalothorax and abdomen
The antenna has a long antennal sheath
The larval skin is attached to the posterior
end
Characteristic two pairs of caudal bristles
20. Fertilized female
need blood for
egg development
The female lay
eggs in damp
areas, in cracks
or holes, in walls
or gound
Larva
comes
out
Larva moult
3 times
giving 4
larval
stages
(instars)
The 4th larva
moults to give
the pupa (moves
but does not
feed)
Adult
Male and
female
mate
21. Only females feed on blood
◦ humans and other vertebrates
Batting is usually restricted to crepuscular and
nocturnal periods but also in darkened rooms at
day time
Most are exophagic but some are endophagic
Adults are weak fliers, fly not more than few
hundred meters
Air movement affects the activity of adult flies
22. During the day adult flies rest in sheltered,
dark and humid sites
Sensitive to temperature and are drawn to
human and other animals with high
temperature
Have a characteristic hopping type flight
Unable to bite through clothing's
23. Leishmaniasis
Sandfly fever or papatasi fever or three – day
fever: mild viral fever
Oroya fever or Carrio’n’s disease or Peruvian
verruga in the new world: caused by Bartonella
bacilliformis
Harara (in Middle East): allergic reaction to the
bite of sandfly
5.5. Medical importance
24. 5.6.Control:
Filling cracks in walls and ground
Screen and nets
Insecticides against larvae and adults
Repellents
e.g. Diethyltoluamide (DEET),
Dimethylphthalate (DIMP)
Control of reservoirs such as rodents, dogs,
gerbils(Killing ???)
25. There are three generas of Psychodidae (Phlebotomus,
Lutzomyia, and Sergentomyia)
Adult flies are also called as sand fleis though there are
differences in naming the species in different localities
They are very minute insects, wings covered with dense
long hairs, palps bent over proboscis and humped
thorax
The eggs are dark and ornamented
Larval control is almost impossible

Editor's Notes
Short proboscis = unable to bite through clothing: piercing & sucking (Female), sucking only (Male)
Sand fleis are very minute in size (the only blood feeding flies which are as small as this are some species of biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) but these have non - hairy wings in addition to other differences.

Females become infective 6 – 10 days after taking an infected blood. Infected females can lay eggs containing the virus and these eventually give rise to infected adults. (Transovarian)
Screen and nets (preferably impregnated with pyrethroids such as permethrin and deltamethrin gives protection from biting for 6 months
Larval control almost impossible b/c the breeding sites are not known for most of the species,
