The Phlebotomine sandfly fauna of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry in South India is described. Two morphologically different forms of Phlebotomus argentipes, the vector of Indian visceral leishmaniasis, are reported from Madras, a known focus of visceral leishmaniasis. A new species, Sergentomyia shettyi sp. nov., is described and Sergentomyia babu and Sergentomyia insularis stat. nov. are considered distinct species on the basis of their parapatric distribution. Phlebotomus papatasi and P. argentipes were the most abundant species around houses (37% and 29% of the catch, respectively), based on 1 year's sampling in villages near Pondicherry. The incidence of visceral leishmaniasis in Tamil Nadu since 1903 is summarized.
