The sandflies of Malta have been previously described by Marett (1910), Newstead (1911), and Whittingham and Rook (1922). The attention of these authors was attracted mainly to Phlebotomus papatasii which they considered to be the commonest sandfly on the island. The observations recorded in the present paper cover the whole of the sandfly seasons of 1931 and 1932. The following six species were found:\— P. Perniciosus Newstead. P. Papatasii Soop.

These investigations have been carried out with the support of the anonymous Bequest Fund, administered by the Tropical Diseases Committee of the Royal Society, The services of Dr. Adler and Dr. Theodor, as well as important items of equipment and material, have been generously placed at the disposal of the Royal Society for this purpose by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The sandflies of Cyprus have been examined. The following ten species were found: P. papatasii, P. perniciosus var. tobbi, P. chinensis (a local race), P. perfiliewi (rare), P. sergenti, P. alexandri, P. larroussei (rare), P. fallax cypriotica, var. n., P. azizi, sp. n., and P. parroti. Melanic forms of P. parroti were found. Melanism was associated with a reduction in the teeth of the pharynx in the female in the few specimens collected. The race of P. chinensis found on the island differs from those hitherto described. The general composition of the sandfly population of Cyprus is different from that of any other part of the Mediterranean examined.\ P. major which is common in Palestine, Syria and the Balkans was not found. Canine kala-azar is common on the island. P. perniciosus var. tobbi and a race of P. chinensis should be considered as possible carriers but this point must be determined experimentally.

In previous communications (Adler and Theodor 1931, 1935) the following sandflies of the major group were recorded from Greece: Phlebotomus major, P. perniciosus var. tobbi, P. chinensis var. simici and P. perfiliewi (syn. P. macedonicus). P. perfiliewi was at first suspected as the carrier of visceral leishmaniasis in Greece, for it was the only sandfly of the major group known from this country up to 1931, the other species not having been found to occur in the peninsula and islands till 1932. A rapid survey carried out during August 1932 in Athens and the vicinity of Argos indicated that the distribution of P. major in these parts corresponded closely to that of visceral leishmaniasis, and feeding experiments on infected dogs carried out in Catania and Sicily showed that this species is even more receptive for Leishmania infantum than is P. perniciosus (1932). It was thought advisable to make an intensive study of a single endemic focus in Greece in order to test the conclusions made on the basis of the preliminary survey and compare the role of the various local species of sandfly of the major group as vectors of visceral leishmaniasis.
