    Abstract:
    A search for the day resting sites of S. garnhami and other phlebotomine sandflies in ten ecological habitats in Tseikuru area of Kitui District, Kenya, was carried out between November and December 1990. S. garnhami was collected in nine out of ten sites investigated, suggesting a wide distribution of the resting sites. S. garnhami constituted 23.4% of the total collections with termite hills being the most preferred site. Weekly trapping records showed that S. garnhami appeared in the field three weeks after the first rains of the season.
