ABSTRACT

The phlebotomine sandflies of the province of Chaco, Argentina, are poorly known, with reports from more than 40 years or captures related with outbreaks of leishmaniasis. In here, Mycropygomyia peresi (Mangabeira) is reported for the first time in Argentina, extending the known dstribution of Migonemyia migonei (França), Evandromyia sallesi (Galvão & Coutinho), Mycropygomyia quinquefer (Dyar), Brumptomyia brumpti (Larousse) y Nemapalpus spp to the province of Chaco. Mg. migonei, together with Nyssomyia neivai (Pinto), Evandromyia cortelezzii (Brèthes), and Psathyromyia shannoni (Dyar) also captured in Chaco, were incriminated as vectors of Leishmania in Argentina.

ABSTRACT

There are nearly 500 species of sandflies in Americas, 30 of which are vectors of leishmaniasis. Evandromyia cortelezzii (Brèthes), E. sallesi (Galvão & Coutinho) and E. corumbaensis (Galati et al) comprise the cortelezzii complex. These species are morphologically similar and many times misidentified. Due to the epidemiological importance recently attributed to this complex, a detailed study was carried out in order to correct wrongful information due to their misidentification, and update their geographical distribution. Evandromyia corumbaensis was found to have a regional distribution, while the other two species are widely distributed in the Brazilian territory.


Existem aproximadamente 500 espécies de flebotomíneos nas Américas, sendo 30 delas vetores de leishmanioses. Evandromyia cortelezzii (Brèthes), E. sallesi (Galvão & Coutinho) e E. corumbaensis (Galati et al) formam o complexo cortelezzii. Essas espécies são semelhantes morfologicamente e muitas vezes confundidas, gerando erros em sua identificação específica. Devido à importância epidemiológica recentemente atribuída a esse complexo, foi realizado estudo detalhado a fim de corrigir as impropriedades cometidas durante a identificação específica das mesmas e atualizar sua distribuição geográfica. Evandromyia corumbaensis tem distribuição regional, enquanto as demais estão amplamente distribuídas pelo território brasileiro.
