[Dr. Eduardo A. Rebollar-Tellez]

Hi Willy:

Dunno about New World species of sandflies, but as for Old World species
there are at least two papers which may be useful to you. The references
are:

Schlein, Y. & Warburg, A. (1986) Phytophagy and the feeding cycle of
Phlebotomus papatasi (Diptera: Psychodidae) under experimental
condictions. Journal of Medical Entomology, 23, 11-15.

Schlein, Y. & Yuval, B. (1987) Leishmaniasis in the Jordan Valley IV.
Attraction of Phlebotomus papatasi (Diptera: Psychodidae) to plants in the
field. Journal of Medical Entomology, 24, 87-90.

I suggest you to contact directly Dr. Y. Schlein to see whether he has got
more papers out there.

Hope this helps

Cheerio!

Eduardo
