Size and shape of Phlebotomus stantoni and Sergentomyia hodgsoni from different island and mainland locations were examined by landmark-based geometric morphometrics. Intraspecific and interspecific wing comparison was carried out based on 12 anatomical landmarks. The wing centroid size of P. stantoni was generally larger than that of S. hodgsoni. Within both species, wings from the continent were significantly larger than those from island populations. Size variation could be significant between geographic locations, but could also overlap between genera. The wing venation geometry showed non-overlapping differences between two species. The within-species variation of geometric shape between different geographical locations was highly significant, but it could not interfere with the interspecies difference. The lack of species overlapping in shape, and the high discrimination between geographic populations, make geometric shape a promising character for future taxonomic and epidemiological studies. specialized Phlebotomus stantoni Sergentomyia hodgsoni Geometric morphometrics Sandfly Thailand THAILANDE 052 340 1 37-46 + erratum 2017 1631-0691 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010069323 10.1016/j.crvi.2016.10.002 1631-0691 [F B010069323] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010069323 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2017/04/010069323.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2017-05-09 2017-08-23 fdi:010069323 fre
