“…In fact, the predominance of males of Lu. longipalpis in the field was consistent with those reported previously 17,25,27,20,28,29,30 in contrast, Rego et al 27 found a larger number of female sand flies than males in Imbaúbas village with a ratio of 2.13 females/males. The highest proportion of males captured with CDC light traps, particularly for Lu.…”

“…The females were identified as part of the cortelezzii complex, due to the morphological similarity between the species 13 . The number of species collected corresponded to 23.7% in a total of 97 species of sand flies already recorded in Minas Gerais [14][15][16][17] . Among the species collected, four were medically important, and vectors of leishmaniasis: Lu.…”

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is a complex vector-borne infectious diseases caused by protozoan parasites in the genus Leishmania and spread by hematophagous phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae, Phlebotominae). The aim of this study was to investigate the phlebotomine fauna, endophily and exophily of the species found, and possible influence of climatic factors on their populations. Methods: The study was conducted in the Xakriabá Indigenous Reserve (XIR) in the municipality of São João das Missões in northern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Insects were collected over three consecutive nights in the last week of each month for 12 months from July 2015 to May 2016 from four houses in four different villages. Two traps were set up in each house: one in the intra-domicile and another in the peri-domicile. Results: A total of 2,012 phlebotomine sand fly specimens representing 23 species and belonging to 10 different genera were captured and identified. Among the studied villages, Riacho do Brejo showed the highest density and diversity of phlebotomine sand flies. The species Lutzomyia longipalpis (80.3%) and Nyssomyia intermedia (7.3%), which are major vectors of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, respectively, had the highest population densities, both in the intra-and peri-domicile. No correlation was observed between climatic factors and the density of phlebotomine sand flies. Conclusions: The results of the present study may contribute to a better understanding and targeting of the measures for preventing and controlling leishmaniasis by the authorities responsible for indigenous health.

“…Other problems related to the taxonomy of this group are the complexes of species, morphological variations and anomalies [2–5]. Despite these difficulties, some species of sand flies have been described recently [6–13]. …”

BackgroundA new species of phlebotomine sand flies belonging to Trichophoromyia Barretto, 1962 genus is described, based on males collected in Jaú National Park, Amazonas state, Brazil.MethodsThe Sand flies were mounted in Canada balsam. They were measured with a binocular Olympus CH-2 microscope with the aid of a micrometer objective and the drawings were done with the help of a camera lucida.ResultsThis new species named Trichophoromyia uniniensis sp. nov. is closely related to Trichophoromyia omagua (Martins, Llanos & Silva, 1976). The former can be distinguished from the latter by the shape of its paramere that has the lower apical region turned up in the new species.ConclusionWith the new species here described a total of 39 species belonging to the Trichophoromyia genus are now known, most of them present in the Amazon rainforest.
