[Leish-l] Fwd: Leishmaniasis - sand fly or sandfly or sand-fly?

Wed Feb 24 03:45:19 BRT 2016

 Dear all

What is wrong with using the term 'Phlebotomine sand-flies' as used by Mike
Service?. He used it similary and consistently for Black-flies
(Simluiidae), Horse-flies (Tabanidae), Tsetse-flies (Glossnidae),
House-flies and Stable-flies (Muscidae) and Latrine-flies (Fannidae).
