Abstract
A tetradonematid parasite of phlebotomine sandflies was found in the b ody cavity of a male Phlebotomus sergenti with unrotated genitalia cau ght near Tavira, Algarve, Portugal. It was identified as Didilia sp. ( possibly D. ooglypta) by body length (3.4 mm), position of the vulva ( anterior) and the sculpturing of the egg shell. This is the first Euro pean record of Didilia.
