  abstract = {{P}hlebotomine sand flies ({D}iptera: {P}hlebotominae) are the principal vectors of {L}eishmania spp. ({K}inetoplastida: {T}rypanosomatidae). {I}n {C}entral {E}urope, {P}hlebotomus mascittii is the predominant species, but largely understudied. {T}o better understand factors driving its current distribution, we infer patterns of genetic diversity by testing for signals of population expansion based on two mitochondrial genes and model current and past climate and habitat suitability for seven post-glacial maximum periods, taking 19 climatic variables into account. {C}onsequently, we elucidate their connections by environmental-geographical network analysis. {M}ost analyzed populations share a main haplotype tracing back to a single glacial maximum refuge area on the {M}editerranean coasts of {S}outh {F}rance, which is supported by network analysis. {T}he rapid range expansion of {P}h. mascittii likely started in the early mid-{H}olocene epoch until today and its spread possibly followed two routes. {T}he first one was through northern {F}rance to {G}ermany and then {B}elgium, and the second across the {L}igurian coast through present-day {S}lovenia to {A}ustria, toward the northern {B}alkans. {H}ere we present a combined approach to reveal glacial refugia and post-glacial spread of {P}h. mascittii and observed discrepancies between the modelled and the current known distribution might reveal yet overlooked populations and potential further spread.},
