The work was done to develop taxonomic record of sand flies Grassomyia dreyfussi turkestanica (Theodor & Mesghali) collected for the first time from endemic places of Sindh and Punjab provinces. In view of the published reports about the detection of encephalitis viruses from the species of the genus Sergentomyia (Franca and Theodor) from the Indian localities and their possible role in kala-azar transmission, the correct identification of sand fly species becomes of significant value in the study of epidemiology of leishmaniasis and other viral diseases. Therefore, in order to facilitate Zoologists and Medical researchers in correct identification of sand fly, morphology of taxonomic characters especially wings, cibarium, mouth parts, male and female genitalia of Grassomyia dreyfussi turkestanica (Theodor & Mesghali) is studied and results are presented. A key is also given to this species and its closest allies of the genus Grassomyia. In this light, its phylogenetic relationship with its closest allies is also briefly discussed
