Abstract
An entomological study was made in order to complete the epidemiological data on leishmaniasis in Lebanon. 19 species of sandflies (13 of the genus Phlebotomus and six of the genus Sergentomyia) were found. The list includes a recently described species of the Synphlebotomus subgenus (P. saltiae) and eight other species mentioned for the first time in Lebanon: P. neglectus, P. brevis, P. langeroni, P. balcanicus, S. fallax, S. taizi, S. tiberiadis and S. christophersi. Ecological records of each species and its possible involvement in Leishmania transmission are discussed.
