Material for electrophotographic reproduction

A material for electrophotographic reproduction, which comprises a conductive support having a sensitized photoconductive insulating layer thereon containing at least one organic photoconductor and containing, as a sensitizer, a polymethine dyestuff capable of effecting sensitization in the short wavelength absorption range of the photoconductor within the spectral range of 400 to 550 nm, the sensitizer having the general formula ##STR4## wherein A is an unsubstituted or substituted indolyl group, an unsubstituted or substituted benzthiazolylamino group, an unsubstituted or substituted phenylamino group, or an unsubstituted or substituted indolinyl group, and X.sup.- is a monovalent anion.
