Several species of Leishmania are responsible for leishmaniases in Thailand, although little is known about their transmission. Sergentomyia gemmea has been suspected several times to transmit Leishmania martiniquensis. Some captures carried out in Thailand and Lao People's Democratic Republic have emphasized the scarcity of Se. gemmea, comprising only 1% of the collected females. The sequencing of cytochrome B mtDNA of our specimens showed that our specimens are not grouped with other Se. gemmea previously deposited in GenBank. The latter are grouped with some Se. khawi and Se. hivernus that we processed in the present study. We suspect misidentifications and propose focusing on the most useful characters for identification of Se. gemmea based on the examination of type-specimens. The examination of the ascoids exhibiting anterior spurs is the most important one. However, we also describe Se. raynali n. sp. exhibiting comparable spurs but differing from Se. gemmea by its original cibarium. Finally, the vectorial role of Se. gemmea appears very questionable in the absence of new evidence.

尽管人们对利什曼原虫的传播知之甚少，但几种利什曼原虫却是泰国的原因。曾多次怀疑Sergentomyia gemmea传播了利什曼原虫Martiniquensis。在泰国和老挝人民民主共和国进行的一些捕获活动强调了硒的稀缺性。宝石，仅占所收集雌性的1％。我们对标本中细胞色素B mtDNA的测序表明，我们的标本没有与其他硒分组。先前存放在GenBank中的gemmea。后者与一些硒分组。卡维和塞。我们在本研究中处理的紫薇。我们怀疑错误识别，建议重点关注最有用的Se识别字符。基于类型样本检查的宝石。最重要的一项检查是检查显示前刺刺的类固醇。但是，我们也描述了硒。赖纳利 sp。表现出可比的马刺，但与硒不同。宝石me由其原始的鹰嘴豆。最后，硒的矢量作用。在没有新证据的情况下，gemmea显得非常可疑。
