Abstract
Descriptions are given of armatures in the genital atria of females of the two morphologically similar sandfly species, Phlebotomus papatasi and P. duboscqi. The species are distinguishable by the size and shap e of the armature, the grouping of the spines in the armature and the length and shape of the spines. These characters have been shown to se parate females of other closely related species of phlebotomine sandfl ies.
