Brumptomyia angelae, a new species of Phlebotominae (Diptera, Psychodidae) of the Atlantic forest of the state of Paraná, Brazil

Abstract

The male of Brumptomyia angelae, sp. nov., a new species of Phlebotominae (Diptera, Psychodidae) of the Atlantic forest of the state of Paraná, Brazil, is described and illustrated. This new taxon is closely related to Brumptomyia ortizi Martins, Silva & Falcão 1971, Brumptomyia nitzulescui (Costa Lima, 1932, and Brumptomyia troglodytes (Lutz, 1922). The male genitalia of these three latter species have also been drawn.

Nyssomyia neivai is a species well adapted to the forest edges and modified environments and may develop around domiciles and invade them (Teodoro et al ).…”
