Abstract excerpt

The sand fly subtribe Psychodopygina includes several taxa of epidemiological relevance and presents long-standing systematic challenges. Although only females act as vectors of Leishmania, males provide the most reliable diagnostic characters for species delimitation and comparative morphology. In this study, geometric morphometrics was applied to male wing traits to characterize phenotypic variation and to...
