. A practical system of classification and nomenclature for the Phlebotomine sandflies of the world is suggested, in the light of a re-examination of the early taxonomic literature and a critical appraisal of recent studies. A stable and simple classification of the sandflies as the subfamily Phlebotominae, family Psychodidae, is given, in which are recognized only five genera but a larger number of subgenera, species groups and lesser, informal, categories. The various groupings, many of which are discussed, are considered to form a stable general framework with flexible subdivisions into which recent and future ideas may be assimilated. The system should cause minimum confusion and give maximum ease of data-retrieval to taxonomists and other scientists concerned with the classification of sandflies for pure or applied purposes.
