“…Previous distribution (PaPe 1996;barros et al 2008;buenaventura & PaPe 2013;sousa et al 2015): Nearctic: Mexico (San Luis Potosí); Neotropical: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil (Amazonas, Ceará, Distrito Federal, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo), Costa Rica, Guyana, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Trinidad & Tobago. This species has already been collected with traps baited with fish, chicken viscera, bovine lung, human feces, and domestic pig carcass (YePez-Gaurisas et al 2013;Mello-Patiu et al 2014;sousa et al 2015); Peckia (E.) anguilla was considered asynanthropic in a study carried out in Belo Horizonte (Dias et al 1984a), but in Colombia, this species was more abundant in rural area than in urban and forest areas. In the last two areas it showed the same proportion of collected specimens and showed attraction to fish (YePez-Gaurisas et al 2013).…”
