Lutzomyia sipani n.sp. is described from males collected in Loreto Department, Peru. The new species belongs to the subgenus Evandromyia mangabeira and confirms the presence of this group in Peru

Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from Lábrea, state of Amazonas, Brazil, with a description of Evandromyia (Aldamyia) apurinan Shimabukuro, Figueira & Silva, sp. nov.

“…The new record for Brazil, Ev. sipani, was collected at Vila Falcão and has only been previously recorded in the Amazonian lowlands of Peru and Colombia (Fernandez et al 1994, Barreto et al 2000. With these two new records, the total of recorded sandfly species in AM increases from 131 to 133.…”

Lutzomyia sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from middle and lower Putumayo department, Colombia, with new records to the country

Descriptions of Lutzomyia (Evandromyia) georgii n. sp. and a Synopsis of the Series infraspinosa (Diptera: Psychodidae)

“…124 G), and the typical form in which this process is absent (their Figs 124 E, H). In the same year (Fernandez et al 1994) an addi-tional species belonging to the Series infraspinosa, L. sipani, was described from males collected in Loreto Department, northeast Peru. Barrett et al (1996) illustrated the male terminalia of yet another form which in the key of Young and Duncan (1994, p. 303) runs to L. infraspinosa, and which they considered to be a distinct species, without formally naming it.…”
