    Abstract:
    A total of 1,394 sandflies were collected in the domestic resting sites of Ouagadougou areas and in two villages of the East region of Burkina Faso using pyrethrum spray catch, oiled papers and miniature CDC light traps during the rainy season in 1984 and 1985. Thirteen species were identified, one belonging to the genus Phlebotomus and the others to the genus Sergentomyia. S. antennata (34.94%), S. bedfordi (16.64%), S. clydei (14.42%), S. schwetzi (13.20%), P. duboscqi (8.46%), S. adleri (7.03%) and S. africana (2.87%) were in order of percentage the more abundant species. The abdominal stages of the sandfly species caught in the human habitations are described. P. duboscqi, the suspected vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the area, seems to have a preferential domestic biotope.
