- Abstract
A checklist of sandflies containing 4 species from Hungary is given. The history of the scientific investigations of Phlebotomus species in Hungary was briefly re - ported. For each species the following data were provided: important synonyms, localities from Hungary with the reference of the publication. Distribution was mapped using the UTM system. Since climate conditions determine the distribution of sandfly species, the averages of monthly mean, maximum, minimum temperatures and the monthly precipitation values also were involved into the study. Most of the collecting sites can be found in 3 locations: in Budapest and its agglomeration, in the south-east part of Transdanubia and in the south-east part of the Great Hungarian Plain. It was found that Phlebotomus papatasi and Phlebotomus perfiliewi inhabit the coldest areas of sandfly distribution. Phlebotomus mascittii and Phlebotomus major neglectus occur in the warmer Transdanubian part of the country. The result of the cluster analysis for Hungarian occurrences of sandfly species based on the average values of monthly climatic variables showed the clear dichotomization of the north and south distribution areas. Data of monthly climatic factors of the four major distribution areas including temperature variables and monthly precipitation values is given.
