Abstract

A study dealing with phlebotomine sandflies in the Madrid community (Central Spain) has been carried out. A total of 31.161 specimens belonging to seven species were capturated. The two species Sergentomyia minuta (Rondani, 1843) and Phlebotomus perniciosus Newstead, 1911 are the most abundant and widespread among these. The presence of Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli, 1786), Phlebotomus longicuspis Nitzulescu, 1930 and Phlebotomus langeroni Nitzulescu, 1930 have been reported for the first time in the Madrid province. Some aspects dealing with the sandflies populations such as specific richness and frecuence as well as interspecific affinity and specific diversity are treated. These results provide information about the structure and dynamics of phlebotomine sandflies populations in the Madrid province.
