Checklist of American sand flies (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae): genera, species, and their distribution

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Phlebotomine sand flies are dipteran insects of medical importance because many species are involved in the transmission of pathogens between human and non-human animals. A total of 530 American species of sand flies is presented in an updated checklist, along with their author(s) and year of publication using the classification by Galati (1995, 2003). Distribution by country is also provided.
