RESUMO
Sand flies were collected in the central region of the state of Rondônia (W 64 30' to 63 00' and S 10 00'to 11 00') using Shannon and CDC light traps from October 1997 to August 2000. A total of 85,850 specimens representing 78 named species were captured. Of these 14 were new records for Rondônia. The proportion of males/females was 1/1.131. Trypanosomatids, that are presently being identified, were detected in 11 species. Leishmania (Viannia) naiffi was recorded from Psychodopygus davisi and P. hirsutus. In the present study the dominant species was P. davisi (39.6 percent) followed by Lutzomyia whitmani (13.1 percent), P. carrerai (11.6 percent), and P. hirsutus (10.2 percent). The importance of P. davisi as a vector of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis is discussed
