Description
Se. (Parrotomyia) africana (Newstead, 1912)
The female has a well-developed palisade-like cibarial armature of 55–80 teeth and smooth elongated capsule-like spermathecae typical of the subgenus Parrotomyia.
The male shows a cibarial armature of 20–35 teeth, palisade-like.
Se. africana is a member of a species complex called the Africana group, which requires revision by molecular tools as some identifications refer to the group rather than to the species sensu stricto. Its distribution area is wide. It includes Africa and the Middle-East, including the Arabian Peninsula.
This species has never been reported to be involved in the transmission of Leishmania.
