Sergentomyia gemmea has been suspected several times to transmit Leishmania martiniquensis. Some captures carried out in Thailand and Lao People's Democratic Republic have emphasized the scarcity of Se. gemmea, comprising only 1% of the collected females. The sequencing of cytochrome B mtDNA of our specimens showed that our specimens are not grouped with other Se. gemmea previously deposited in GenBank. The latter are grouped with some Se. khawi and Se. hivernus that we processed in the present study. We suspect misidentifications and propose focusing on the most useful characters for identification of Se. gemmea based on the examination of type-specimens. The examination of the ascoids exhibiting anterior spurs is the most important one. However, we also describe Se. raynali n. sp. exhibiting comparable spurs but differing from Se. gemmea by its original cibarium. Finally, the vectorial role of Se. gemmea appears very questionable in the absence of new evidence. specialized Asia Leishmania martiniquensis - Phlebotomus molecular systematics Sergentomyia taxonomy vector LAOS VIET NAM 052 33 4 521-529 2019 0269-283X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077179 10.1111/mve.12393 0269-283X [F B010077179] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077179 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2019/11/010077179.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-12-12 2025-02-24 fdi:010077179 fre
