Usage accepts sandfly on this side of the Atlantic. As Bob pointed out the divide between sandfly and sand-fly is the Atlantic Ocean. The Oxford English Dictionary and Collins offer only sandfly, Webster offers only sand fly. Encyclopedia Britannica uses sand fly, but then includes midges and gnats. Wikipedia is utterly confused. Trawling the publications of the famous ento- parasito-logists showed that British journals such as TRSTMH use sandfly, Continental journals mostly use sandfly when publishing in English, but some such as Parassitologia seem a little more flexible and use either. US journals use sand fly, but adopted the style at different times: AJTMH in abut 1983, Science and Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz by about 2000. I found only one sand-fly. So select your journal carefully if you have strong feelings.<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Anthony Bryceson<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 25 Mar 2009, at 07:00, BobKillick-Kendrick wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>The Americans use sand fly.
