During an inventory in Pha Tong cave, Thailand, two collected species could not be related to known sand fly species. The first new species, Phlebotomus shadenae n. sp. is a sand fly of the subgenus Anaphlebotomus. It is morphologically close to Ph. stantoni, a species widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia. However, it differs by the length of the genital filaments or ducts of the spermathecae as well as the high divergence of cytochrome b sequences. The second new species, Sergentomyia maiae n. sp., differs from a species in the same group, Se. barraudi, by an original cibarial double row of vertical teeth as well as by molecular data.
