“…The measurements are given in micrometers. The nomenclature and classification is identical to the nomenclature and classification that was previously proposed by Galati (2003) and the abbreviations are identical to the abbreviations of the names for the phlebotomine genera by Marcondes (2007).

Phlebotomines are invertebrate hosts of Leishmania species, which cause leishmaniases and are responsible for the transmission of Leishmania to humans and other mammals. They are also the vectors of arboviruses and the causative agents of bartonellosis and their bites cause allergic reactions (Young & Duncan 1994). Caves are ecotopes that are significantly different from their external surrounding environments and sand flies are constantly found among the insects that live in caves or visit their surrounding areas (Andrade Filho et al. 2001, Galati et al. 2006. Several caves are opened to tourists before any scientific studies are conducted and as a result, valuable geological and biological information about the caves is lost.The present paper describes a new species of sand fly that was captured in 1965 in a cave located in the municipal district of Arraias in the southeastern region of the state of Tocantins (TO) at a distance of 413 km from Palmas, the capital of the state. The cave, which was previously known as Lapa das Cabeceiras and is now called Grutas da Lapa, consists of four large rooms that are about 40 m long and 20 m high. MATERIALS AND METHODSSand flies were mounted in Canada balsam, measured with a binocular Olympus CH-2 microscope that was fitted with a micrometer objective and drawn with the help of a camera lucida. The measurements are given in micrometers. The nomenclature and classification is identical to the nomenclature and classification that was previously proposed by Galati (2003) and the abbreviations are identical to the abbreviations of the names for the phlebotomine genera by Marcondes (2007). The description of the new species was based on six females and eight males, which were associated by their morphological characteristics and by their capture locations and times and includes all of the specimens from both sexes in the same genus and group. Martinsmyia reginae sp. nov. (Figs 1-9)Male: sand fly of medium size, measurement ca. 2.868 (2.680 ± 128.4; n = 7) in length, general colour light brown. Head (Fig. 1) : four hundred and fourteen (424 ± 9.0; n = 7) long and 294 (300 ± 15.7; n = 7) wide. Head length/head width ratio 1.41:1 (1.42 ± 0.08 n = 7). Clypeus 143 (148 ± 8.3; n = 7) long; clypeus length/head length ratio 0.35:1 (0.35: 1 ± 0.01; n = 7). Eye 143 (156 ± 13.2; n = 7) long and 91 (96 + 12.2; n = 7) wide; eye length/head length ratio 0.35:1 (0.37:1 ± 0.03; n = 7). Interocular distance 124 (123 ± 9.4; n = 7). Labrum-epipharynx (LE) 271 (294 ± 11.5; n = 7). LE/head length ratio 0.65:1 (0.69 ± 0.03; n = 7). Antenna with simple and short ascoid. Antennomere lengths: AIII 316 (329 ± 12.3; n = 7); AIV 147 (144 ± 5.9; n = 7); AV 147 (144 ± 5.9; n = 7); AXV < AXVI (AXV < AXVI; n = 4).

The Brazilian territory presents a great diversity of biomes, such as equatorial rainforest, cerrado and Atlantic Forest. As a reflection of this, there exists a great biodiversity of plants and animals, several species or groups of species being endemic, and in some particular circumstances, vectors of agents to man and other mammals, as in the case of the phlebotomine sand flies. However, with so many environmental modifications of an anthropic nature these environments have become less stable, leading to an expansion of the customary biomes of various diseases, generating diverse public health problems, such as the invasion of urban centers by leishmaniases.This study describes a new species of sand fly found in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo (ES), in the Reserva Biológica de Duas Bocas (20 o 18'05''S and 40 o 28'06''W), municipality of Cariacica. The area is cover by Atlantic Forest, with an altitude of between 450-850 m above sea level. MATERIALS AND METHODSSandflies were mounted in Berlese liquid and measured with a binocular Olympus CH-2 microscope with the aid of a micrometer objective and the drawings were made with the help of a camera lucida. The measurements are given in micrometers. The nomenclature and classification is that proposed by Galati (2003) and the abbreviation of the names for phlebotomine genera that proposed by Marcondes (2007). Male (holotype) -Sand fly of medium size, measurement ca. 3,038 (2,428 ± 75.7; n = 2) in length, general color light brown. Head (Fig. 1) 353 (349 ± 2.1; n = 2) long and 297 (301; n = 1) wide. Head length/head width ratio 1.19: 1 (1.16; n = 1). Clypeus 105 (111 ± 2.1; n = 2) long; clypeus length/head length ratio 0.30: 1 (0.32: 1 ± 0.01; n = 2). Eye 165 (148 ± 9.2; n = 2) long and 105 (109 ± 5.7; n = 2) wide; eye length/head length 0.47: 1 (0.43: 1 ± 0.02; n = 2). Interocular distance 88 (105; n = 1). Labrum-epipharynx (LE) 203 (184 ± 7.1; n = 2). LE/ head length 0.58: 1 (0.53 ± 0.01; n = 2). Antenna with simple, long ascoid, reaching the apex of the segment. Antennomere lengths: AIII 322 (286 ± 21.9; n = 2); AIV 147 (137 ± 14.8; n = 2); AV 154 (144 ± 9.9; n = 2); AXV > AXVI (AXV > AXVI; n = 2). AIII, AIV, AV and AXIII with papilla; ratios: AIII/head length 0.91: 1 (0.82: 1 ± 0.06; n = 2); AIII/LE 1.59: 1 (1.55: 1 ± 0.06; n = 2). Palpal formula 1.4.2.3.5 (1.4.2.3.5; n = 2). Palpomere lengths: P1 39 (34 ± 2.1; n = 2); P2 137 (139 ± 2.1; n = 2); P3 154 (160 ± 2.1; n = 2); P4 107 (114 ± 2.8; n = 2); P5 378 (337 ± 4.9; n = 2).
