Our study is a phenetic portrayal of this history based on the genetic relationships among som New world and Old World taxa. We used both multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and morphometry on 24 male specimens of the Old World genus Phlebotomus (with three of its subgenera : Phlebotomus, Spelaeophlebotomus and Australophlebotomus), and on 67 male specimens of the three New World genera, Warileya, Brumptomyia and Lutzomyia, (with three subgenera of Lutzomyia : Lutzomyia, Oligodontomyia and Psychodopygus). Phenetic trees derived from both techniques were similar, but disclosed relationships that disagree with the present classification of sand flies. The need for a true evolutionary approach is stressed.
