“…At the same time, Aguiar & Vieira 2018do not point out as one of the main habitats of these species, males and females, the rocky environments or crevices in the rock. For L. tupynambai they point out the armadillos' burrow, other types of wild animals burrows, tree trunks, tubular roots, and marginal areas, while for L. gasparviannai only the forest with no defined location (Aguiar & Vieira 2018). This fact is relevant, because it is known that a considerable population of males on a given site suggests the existing of breeding sites of these phlebotomines (Alves 2007, Brazil and.…”

“…Regarding the relative humidity of the air in the cold and dry season, 96%, 97% and 98% were obtained, while in the warm it was 98%, 97% and 97%. According to Aguiar & Vieira (2018), in the dry season the shelters temperature is greater than in the external environment and increases in the rainy season. The relative humidity of the air in the shelter, both in the cold and dry and in the warm and humid periods is always greater than the external environment.…”

“…According to Aguiar & Vieira (2018), 125 species were recorded in the southeast region and 65 in the state of Rio de Janeiro (Carvalho et al 2014), including 6 species that are considered to be Leishmania vectors for humans and mammals (Aguiar & Vieira, 2018).…”

Aiming to compare and update the sand fly fauna of Portão de Pedra site, Sumidouro District, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and considering the environmental changes occurred, the biology and ecology of the local sandfly species were examined five years later as a complementary study carried. Captures were made in the cave, surroundings of cave and forest of the region, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. 2 3 2 3 sandflies of eigth species of the Lutzomyia were captured: L. gasparviannai, L. edwardsi, L. tupynambai, L. hirsuta, L. whitmani, L. migonei, L. intermedia, Lutzomyia. sp and one species of the Brumptomyia Kind: B. brumpti. In 2009 and 2010 were collected 1756 samples from ten species of the former genus and two of the second. L. gasparviannai was predominant, in the three collection sites, in both periods. Five species implicated as vector of Leishmania: L. intermedia, L. whitmani, L. migonei, L. hirsuta and L. davisi have been collected in the area. Poisson regression and ANOVA were used to perform statistical analysis of species most relevant. The record of L. intermedia and a case of American tegumentary leishmaniasis are relevant to public health of municipality and of state of Rio de Janeiro.
