Traps set up at different heights from 0-11 m (in wooded area) and 0-9 m (in open field), showed a clear vertical zonation of sandflies as large numbers were collected between 0-7 m in the first site and 0-4 m in the second ones. Among the nine sandfly species collected, Sergentomyia bedfordi Newstead and S. antennatus Newstead were the only species recorded at a height of 11 m above the ground and the commonest sandflies at all studied heights. Overall, more sandflies were collected from the wooded area than the open field. The relationships between the sandfly relative abundance and their heights of flight above the ground showed significant negative correlation coefficients.
