A survey of the sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Jordan increased the number of species known from the country from three to thirteen. Composition of the phlebotomine fauna and the relative abundance of sandfly species differ among the six climatic zones, with a general distinction between the dry desert zones and the more humid Mediterranean zones. Species of Phlebotomus predominate in the former and Sergentomyia in the latter. Within the desert zone some species are restricted to the eastern desert and others to the Jordan Valley in the west.
一项对约旦白蛉（双翅目：毛蠓科）的调查使该国已知的白蛉物种数量从三种增加到了十三种。在六个气候带中，吸血白蛉动物群的组成以及白蛉物种的相对丰度各不相同，干旱的沙漠带和湿度较高的地中海带之间存在总体差异。前一带中以白蛉属物种为主，后一带中则以司蛉属为主。在沙漠带内，有些物种局限于东部沙漠，而其他物种则局限于西部的约旦河谷。
