This sandfly is common in the Near East, northern Africa and southern Europe. To the east it has been reported up to India. It is anthropophilic, found around houses and regarded as a vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis, a common disease in dogs which may also infect humans. The disease agents involved are ''Leishmania tropica'' and related species like ''L. killicki'' (e.g. see [[Parasites and Vectors (2016) 9 (60) - Species composition of sand ...|Boussaa et al., 2016]]).
