Abstract:	Soil analysis was carried out on samples obtained from breeding sites of the sanflies Phlebotomus langeroni Nitzulescu and Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli) and compared to non-breeding sites. Soil characterized by relatively high moisture content, high organic matter and derivatives, such as phosphorous potassium and nitrogen, high percent of silt and slightly alkaline pH, constitutes peculiar conditions which favour immature development of both species.
