In the Mediterranean region P. neglectus is a proven vector of Leishmania infantum and P. syriacus is a probable vector. This two species belong to Phlebotomus (Larroussius) major complex. Different populations of P. neglectus and P. syriacus from localities in Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Hungary, Greece and the island of Crete, the Crimean peninsula, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Israel were studied by sequencing analysis of nuclear (EF-1α) and mitochondrial (Cyt b, COI) markers. This study confirmed the general concept of species distribution: P. neglectus is present in the north- central part of the Mediterranean while P. syriacus is attributed to the eastern part. A detailed observations showed a sympatric incidence of P. neglectus and P. syriacus in Turkey and Crete. Specimens retained from Crimean localities were studied with respect to previously described P. major krimensis subspecies, endemit of Crimean peninsula. Acording a mitochondrial marker (Cyt b) can be postulatet, that P. major krimensis distribution is vaster and reache into Turkey. Excepting P. neglectus and P. syriacus the presence of third distinguishable groupe of "P. cretensis "were observed in Crete. Morphometric analyses of this species show, that proper identification of these species is notoriously difficult....
