A biometrical study has been carried out in a group of specimens of Sergentomyia minuta from the southeast of Spain. An analysis of the data shows that samples are grouped according to the season of capture and locality. Thus, seasonal variations are observed in the sandflies, which, show a decrease in size as the cycle progresses. The greatest size is shown by the adults from the winter generation of larvae.
