Popis:	A new species of the sandfly subgenus Paraphlebotomus Theodor from Kenya is described and named Phlebotomus mireillae. The type locality is Utut Reserve, near Gilgil, Nakuru District. The description is based on 10 males and 10 females reared from individual egg batches of wild-caught females. Males of the new species differ from nine other species of the subgenus by the shape of the aedeagus, which is straight, not curved or hooked. They are separated from the remaining three species by other differences in the aedeagus, and in the style and coxite process. Female P. mireillae have backwardly pointing spines inside the distal quarter of the spermathecal ducts, a character not previously described for phlebotomine sandflies. Additional characters which distinguish females of the new species from others of the subgenus are differences in the pharyngeal armature and spermathecae and the lengths of the third antennal segment and labium.
