Entomological observations were carried out in relation to Carrion's disease and malaria in the Callejón de Huailas in the zone extending from the city of Yuramarca to Huarás, with special attention to the Cañón del Pato region. These observations indicate the presence of the following sandflies: Phlebetomus verrucarum, P. pertiensis, P. noguchi and a new species. The locations where they were found are indicated. P. verrucarum, the main transmitter of Carrión's disease, is found all along the entire zone studied, but in numbers reduced in the city of Huarás. From Yuramarca up to the outskirts of the city of Carás only Anopheles pseudopunctipennis were found as larvae and fully developed adulte. Their focus being mainly on both sides of the Santa River, on the shores of other affluents of this river and in very many streams.
