Extract

Brief notes are given on the distribution of 34 species of sandflies (Phlebotomus) recorded in Kenya. Mention is also made of two other species not so far known from Kenya but from areas close to its border, since these may ultimately be found within it.

The distributions of the 36 species in Kenya and bordering areas, based on published work supplemented by many unpublished records, are shown on a series of maps.
