Sergentomyia (Sergentomyia) fallax (Parrot, 1921) View in CoL

The male genitalia has a long and narrow gonostyle with a non-deciduous silk implanted very distally.

The female has a large pharynx with a well-developed armature consisting with monomorphic teeth forming a heartshaped pattern. The cibarium is armed with 15–23 pointed teeth, equal or sub-equal, arranged in an arch. The sclerotised area (= pigment patch) is oval.

The distribution of Se. fallax is wide. It extends from the Canary Islands and Morocco to Pakistan, covers the Arabian Peninsula and remains north of the Sahara. In Oman, Se. fallax is abundant in the Dhofar, while it is rather rare in the Sharqiyah.

The role of this species has never been mentioned in the transmission of a Leishmania , despite its vicariant Se. dubia being a possible vector of L. infantum in Senegal [ 68].
