ABSTRACT
A new phlebotomine species, Evandromyia chacoensis, is described based on three females collected in the province of Chaco, Argentina. The morphological characters of the new species allow its inclusion in the genus Evandromyia. Spemathecae present body with superficial striations and the common duct is as long as the genital fork. These characters are similar to those of species belonging to the series rupicola of Evandromyia. Evandromyia chacoensis sp. n. is distinguished from the other species of Evandromyia by having spermatheca body with constriction from the middle towards the apex, and a slightly large apical ring.
