Extract

From June 1925 to December 1925 a number of Phlebotomus, considered at first to be Phlebotomus minutus, Rondani (1843), were collected in Jericho. As Austen (1921) had recorded P. minutus var. africanus, Newstead (1912), from the Jaffa district and Buxton (1924) had recorded P. minutus only from Haifa and Jerusalem and did not find among his material any specimens with the palpal formula of P. minutus var. africanus, we commenced a systematic examination of our material with particular reference to palpal characters in order to determine whether any varieties of P. minutus occur in Jericho.
