Abstract
A new species of the subgenus Larroussius Nitzulescu 1931, named Phleb otomus lengi in honour of the Chinese sandfly taxonomist Professor Yan Jia Leng, was found amongst the phlebotomine sandflies collected in Y unnan Province, China, in 1989. A full description of the male and fem ale of this species is provided. The ascoid formula of P. lengi distin guishes it from all previously described members of the subgenus Larro ussius.
