A large-scale entomological survey was carried out in summer 2016 in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It revealed, for the first time, the presence of the phlebotomine sand fly Phlebotomus (Transphlebotomus) mascittii Grassi, 1908 (Diptera: Phlebotominae) in south-western Slovakia. Species identification of a captured female was confirmed by both morphological and sequencing (COI) analyses.

Background: Professor Jean-Antoine Rioux (1925-2017) has spent much of his long and fruitful scientific career exploring and understanding the functioning of leishmaniasis foci in several regions of the Mediterranean, the Near and Middle East and Africa. Phlebotomine sand flies study was an important part of his work in the foci studied and a large number of specimens have been collected by himself and stored in his collection, detailed in this note.
Materials And Methods: His collection has been completely inventoried.

Objective: Human and canine leishmaniasis (CanL) are endemic in Turkey, and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a primary public health problem among vector-borne diseases, with 1500-2000 autochthonous cases per year. In this study, we aimed to perform a comprehensive entomological survey, including the detection of sand fly fauna, seasonal activity, and altitudinal distribution, together with the ecological features of Aydın Mountains and their surroundings that are endemic areas for CL caused by and CanL caused by MON-1.
Methods: The survey was carried out from June 2009 to July 2010.

Phlebotomus (Transphlebotomus) mascittii Grassi, 1908 (Diptera: Psychodidae) has been found in several European countries. In Spain, sporadic records were reported in the early '80s in Catalonia (Northeast Spain), and it was never detected again. Recent entomological surveys carried out between 2004 and 2020 revealed the presence of several specimens of P.
