Abstract
      Leishmaniases are endemic in Egypt. The sand fly vectors have been incriminated. An album for the sand fly fauna was based on slide-mounted specimens from the archive of the Research and Training Center on Vectors of Diseases, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. The sand fly specimens originated from several surveys conducted in different parts of Egypt over 20 years. The album presented twenty species of the genera Phlebotomus and Sergentomyia. These were presented in 68 photos in 18 plates. Nine species of the genus Phlebotomus were reported P. papatasi, P. bergeroti, P. langeroni, P. orientalis, P. major, P. arabicus, P. kazeruni, P. sergenti and P. alexandri and eleven of the genus Sergentomyia, S. squamipleuris, S. palestinensis, S. fallax, S. cincta, S. schwetzi, S. taizi, S. theodori, S. tiberiadis, S. christophersi, S. clydei and S. adleri.
