“…flaviscutellata have been documented [8, 35], despite rodent-baited trapping being better recognized as a method for attracting the species. Additionally, the first SISA Rank (0.95) was indicative of this high presence in all five surveyed ecotopes; this has been observed in the Belém metropolitan area (PA), where Bi.…”

During 2012–2015, an entomological survey was conducted as part of a phlebotomine (Diptera: Psychodidae) monitoring program in an area influenced by the Santo Antônio do Jari hydroelectric system (Amapá State, Brazil). The purpose was to study aspects of Amazon/Guianan American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) vectors subjected to stresses by anthropogenic environmental changes. For sampling, CDC light traps were positioned 0.5, 1, and 20 m above ground at five capture locations along the Jari River Basin. Fluctuations in phlebotomine numbers were analyzed to determine any correlation with rainfall, dam waterlogging, and/or ACL cases, from May 2012 to March 2015. We captured 2,800 individuals, and among 45 species identified, Bichromomyia flaviscutellata, Nyssomyia umbratilis, and Psychodopygus squamiventris s.l. were determined to be the main putative vectors, based on current knowledge of the Amazon/Guianan ACL scenario. Rainfall, but not complete flooding, was relatively correlated with phlebotomine fluctuation, mainly observed for Ps. squamiventris s.l., as were ACL cases with Ny. umbratilis. Behavioral changes were observed in the unexpected high frequency of Bi. flaviscutellata among CDC captures and the noncanopy dominance of Ny. umbratilis, possibly attributable to environmental stress in the sampled ecotopes. Continuous entomological surveillance is necessary to monitor the outcomes of these findings.

“…In Pa. brasiliensis, the ejaculatory duct is long, approximately 10x the length of the ejaculatory apodeme (younG & dunCAn, 1994;GAlAti, 2003), and in Ph. oliverioi it is 6x shorter than the ejaculatory apodeme, considering the length of 972 µm, which is also found in the Amazonian sister species Pa. abunaensis (Martins, Falcão & Silva, 1965), known to occur in Brazil, in the states of Rondônia (GAlAti, 2003) and Amazonas (Alves et al, 2012). Phlebotomus oliverioi presents the basiphallus (aedeagus sensu GAlAti) reaching beyond the middle of the paramere, and in Pa. abunaensis the basiphallus does not reach the middle of the structure.…”

ABSTRACT. Phlebotomus oliverioi Barretto & Coutinho, 1941 was originally described based only on the male holotype and has since been considered junior-synonym of Psathyromyia brasiliensis (Costa Lima, 1932). The study of the holotype of Ph. oliverioi allowed us to conclude that the head of this specimen belongs to the genus Psychodopygus and the wings, thorax and abdomen belong to a different species of Psathyromyia. Thus, Ph. oliverioi is a not valid species, and must be removed from the synonym and excluded from the provisions of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Articles 17.2 and 23.8). The specimen was measured, drawn, photographed and the morphological characters are discussed. Lectotype and paralectotypes to Pa. brasiliensis are designated.

“…Varying degrees of environmental change caused by human activities might be responsible for the differences in the sandfly fauna composition found throughout the Amazon Region (Ready et al 1986). For example, Psychodopygus is more abundant in non-disturbed primary forest, while Nyssomyia is more abundant in areas under human impact found in AM, state of Acre (AC) and state of Mato Grosso (Azevedo et al 2002, Alves et al 2012. The most abundant sandfly species, Ny.…”
