Thus, Switzerland is an opportune place to investigate the sand fly fauna on both sides of the Alpine crest, in southern sub-Mediterranean climate and northern oceanic temperate climate. We reinvestigated the Swiss sand fly fauna with the aim to assess changes in composition, altitudinal distribution, abundance and seasonality. Thirty-eight sites were investigated with light traps and/or interception sticky traps in 4 years. Ninety and 380 specimens were caught by light traps and sticky traps, respectively, at 15 collecting sites. Four species were identified. <i>Phlebotomus mascittii</i> (Grassi, 1908), <i>Phlebotomus perniciosus</i> (Newstead, 1911) and <i>Sergentomyia minuta</i> (Rondani, 1843) were confirmed in Ticino, and <i>P. mascittii</i> for the first time in neighbouring Grisons. Also, <i>Phlebotomus neglectus</i> (Tonnoir, 1921) is for the first time reported, though at a very low density compared to <i>P. perniciosus</i> at the same site. Its presence in Ticino supports the northward spread observed in Italy. Sand flies were detected north of the Alps at one site only, endorsing a historical report.
