“…Initial studies of phlebotomine fauna in TO focused on the description of species (Barreto 1946, Martins et al 1962, 1964, 1975); further entomological studies identified 32 sandfly species in the state (Lustosa et al 1968, Andrade Filho et al 2001), including the new species Micropygomyia (Silvamyia) echinatopharynx and Martinsmyia reginae (Andrade Filho et al 2004, Carvalho et al 2010). These findings indicate a great diversity of sandfly species in TO.…”

“…Early studies on the phlebotomine fauna from the state of Tocantins have focused on the description of new species [15], [16], [17], [18]; surveys on phlebotomine fauna were carried out in a few municipalities: Alvorada, Itacajá and São Sebastião [19]. Recently, studies carried out in four municipalities (Paraíso do Tocantins, Monte do Carmo, Monte Santo and Porto Nacional) recorded 32 species of sand flies, and among them, some potential vectors of leishmaniasis: Lu.…”

BackgroundAlthough leishmaniases are regarded as serious public health issues in the State of Tocantins, as consequence of the impact of environmental changes, small advances in taxonomic and ecological studies of Phlebotominae fauna are taking place in this state. The present study aimed to improve the knowledge about the sand flies, as well as about the aspects of the bioecology of leishmaniases vectors from Porto Nacional, a city that was directly impacted by the construction of Luís Eduardo Magalhães Hydroelectric Plant (HEP – Lajeado).Methodology/Principal FindingsSand flies were collected monthly using CDC light traps and Shannon traps for a period of 40 consecutive months, at different monitoring stations, where 7162 specimens were collected and 48 species were detected. Among the species found, 22 are first records in the state and seven are considered important vectors of leishmaniases. Lutzomyia longipalpis, the vector of American Visceral Leishmaniasis (AVL) showed higher frequency in urban compared to rural areas, and Nyssomyia whitmani, the vector of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL), predominated in rural areas. The frequency and habits of sand fly vectors are discussed considering environmental characteristics and climatic factors.Conclusions/SignificanceThe construction of dams requires a great amount of labor, therefore attracting people from elsewhere. Increased migration, without adequate structure, leads to bad living conditions in new and unplanned settlements. It also leads to deforestation associated with environmental impacts, which can facilitate the spread of leishmaniases.This study discusses the importance of Lu. longipalpis and Ny. whitmani on the transmission cycles of leishmaniases in Porto Nacional and the record of Bi. flaviscutellata in periurban area of the city.

ABSTRACT. A check-list of new species, descriptions of other sex of previously described species, redescriptions. proposals of synonymy, and new status for species previously in synonymy or described as subspecies for american sand nics (Diptera, Psychodidae. Phlebotominae), for the period 1975-1993. and not included in the revision of MARTINS el al. (1978). arc presenled. KEY WORDS. Diplera. Psychodidae. Phlebolominae, check-list Since the publication of the revision on american sand flies (MARTINS et al. 1978), a lot of new species and other sex of previously described species, and proposals os synonymy, new states, and revalidation of species were published. A list of all these proposals would be useful to make easier the identification and the research of these insects and is presented here. The type localities and the sites where the types of new taxa were deposited are also cited.Several systems were proposed for Phlebotomine sand flies (ABONNENC & LEGER 1976a,b; LEWIS et al. 1977;MARTINS et al. 1978;READY et al. 1980READY et al. , 1981. The system of MARTINS et al. (1978) is widely accepted and it was used here. The species are distributed on Ihe subgenera and groups, mostly based on comments of the describers.
