Insects of the Family Psychodidae and Subfamily Phlebotominar have been identified in samples collected for Entomological Surveillance Program of Bluetongue in Spain. A total of five species have been detected: Sergentomyia minuta, Phlebotomus papatasi, Phlebotomus sergenti, Phlebotomus perniciosus and Phlebotomus ariasi. Ph. perniciosus was the most abundant species with a greater distribution and with a minimum activity period between May and October. We discuss the importance of these insects as potential vectors of emerging diseases in Spain.
