Summary:We report for the first time the presence of Phlebotomus mascittii and the female of Phlebotomus chadlii in Algeria. These two species were collected during an entomological study conducted in endemic visceral leishmaniasis focus from the north part of the country, Kabylia. Les auteurs signalent pour la première fois la présence de Phlebotomus mascittii et de la femelle de Phlebotomus chadlii en Algérie. Ces deux espèces ont été capturées lors d’une enquête entomologique réalisée dans un foyer de leishmaniose viscérale du nord du pays, la Kabylie.
