Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of sand fly cox1 gene sequences. The phylogeny was created from 700-bp fragments using New World sand fly species, Lutzomyia umbratilis (JQ839256), as an outgroup for rooting. The Ph. orientalis and S. squamipleuris sequences identified in this study are highlighted in bold. Bootstrap percentages at the major nodes are of agreement among 1000 replicates. The branch-length scale bar represents the number of nucleotide substitutions per site
