Sergentomyia gomboki ( Lewis & Wharton, 1963)

Phlebotomus gomboki Lewis & Wharton, 1963: 121 (as ssp. of zeylanicus) [female]. Type locality: Malaya, Selangor, Malaysia, near Ulu Gombok.

S. gomboki was not previously known to occur in Thailand. This species has been reported to feed on monkeys and humans, but is not known to transmit parasites among its hosts ( Seccombe et al. 1993). Females of S. gomboki are easily recognized by their unusually long labrum, which resembles that in species of Phlebotomus View in CoL . Males of this species remain undescribed.
