“…The most abundant species captured in the present study was Ps . lloydi , which possesses a wide geographical distribution that encompasses the states of Minas Gerais, Maranhão, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo [ 58 , 59 , 60 ]. According to Santos [ 59 ], most species of the genus Psychondopygus occur only in wild habitats, and Rangel & Lainson [ 61 ], explain that some species of the genus are important in the transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis, such as Psychodopygus wellcomei (Fraiha, Shaw & Lainson 1971), complex Psychodopygus (Mangabeira, 1941), Psychodopygus paraensis (Costa Lima, 1941) and Psychodopygus ayrozai (Barretto & Coutinho, 1940).…”

Leishmaniases are a set of parasitic diseases of zoonotic origin that are transmitted by sandfly vectors in wild, rural and urban environments. Their distribution is dependent not only the distribution of vectors, but also on the distribution of mammalian reservoirs. Only by understanding the transmission cycle of these diseases, such as knowing the participating vectors and reservoirs, can one can understand the epidemiology and ecological relationships of leishmaniases. Ecotourism has become an important area of economic growth in Brazil. One of the most visited tourist attractions in the state of Minas Gerais, the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Santuário do Caraça (RPPNSC) is located in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero. The aim of this study was to contribute to the control of leishmaniasis among tourists of the RPPNPC by surveying its sand fly fauna and testing for the presence of Leishmania DNA in females. Twenty-five CDC light traps were exposed on 7 trails of the RPPNPC where samples were collected bimonthly for a year, starting in June 2013. A total of 376 specimens of 18 species and 10 genera of sandflies were captured. The predominant species were Psychodopygus lloydi (72.34%) and Pintomyia monticola (5.59%). HaeIII restriction enzyme detected and characterized Leishmania braziliensis DNA in 2 of the samples for an infection rate of 0.7% (2/266). Recent studies found specimens of Ps. lloyd infected with Leishmania braziliensis elsewhere in Minas Gerais, which may be an indication that this species is involved in the transmission of Leishmania in this state.

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.

“…lloydi na transmissão de Leishmania, cabe destacar a importância deste relato sobre seu encontro no extremo sul do Estado do Paraná, onde as médias de temperaturas costumam ser mais amenas em relação às das regiões onde a espécie ocorre (Andrade Filho et al 1997;Aguiar & Medeiros 2003). Em suma, o resultado deste trabalho contribui com os avanços dos estudos de distribuição geográfica dos flebotomíneos no Brasil.…”
