A new sand fly, Lutzomyia campograndensis sp. n. (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) from the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Abstract

Material from light trap collections from Campo Grande, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, was included on undescribed species of Lutzomyia França. The description of this new species is based on morphological characters proposed by the Cipa Group (1990) and Galati (1995). All measurements are given in mm.

Species Diversity and Flagellate Infections in the Sand Fly Fauna near Porto Grande, State of Amapá, Brazil (Diptera: Psychodidae. Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae)

“…The present survey supplements a list of 18 species of Lutzomyia from lowland Amapá (Brazil et al 2000) and a preliminary report on an apparently more diverse (Oliveira et al 2001) and may be represented among the four specimens we have identified as L. lutziana. These two species are so similar morphologically that at present we are unable to separate them confidently on the basis of the published descriptions alone.…”

Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) associated with changing patterns in the transmission of the human cutaneous leishmaniasis in French Guiana

“…A lot of individuals (17%) could not be identified because they were either damaged during the transportation between the field and the laboratory, damaged during the laboratory process of lightening and mounting, or because the specimens could not be attributed to a species description. A total of 38 species were collected, which is close to the 43 species reported during the last sand flies survey in French Guiana (Léger et al 1977), and about half of the 78 species previously described from French Guiana (Floch & Abonnenc 1952, Oliveira et al 2001 (Léger et al 1977). The collection made in Maripasoula during our survey resulted in 32 individuals that could not be identified.…”

Estudo de flebotomíneos (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) na zona urbana da cidade de Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil, 1999-2000

“…campograndensis (Oliveira et al, 2001) descrita a partir deste trabalho, já apresentava uma ampla distribuição geográfica sendo, porém, identificada como L. lutziana. As duas espécies são muito próximas, diferindo apenas no comprimento e na extremidade do filamento genital nos machos e, nas fêmeas, no aspecto das espermatecas.…”
