We used three C.D.C. light trap for collection of sandflies. Totally, two hundred and sixty three sand - flies were captured from Meshkin - shahr focus, belonging to the species of Phiebotomus kandeJaJcj (69.58%), Ph.ba/canicus(815%) Ph.perfJJiewi(114%) Ph.halpensjs (0.76%), Ph.papatasj (10.65%), Ph. caucasjcus (3.8%) and Ph.sergcntj (5.32%). From Gerim focus eighty seven sandflies were collected, They were Ph.perfih'ewj (96.55%), Serji~ento,nyja dentata (2.3%) and S.sintonj (1.15%). This study showed that, the female sandflies especially the empty ones were more attracted by light traps, where genus Sergentomyja was not as much positive phototaxis.
