The genus Lutzomyia has great importance in the New World, with some species implicated in the transmission of causal agents of leishmaniases, bartonellosis and arboviruses. From April 2003 to June 2004 an investigation was undertaken on the richness and abundance of the sand fly fauna in the northeast area of Manacapuru county, Amazonas State. The captures were carried out, with 16 light traps CDC, in areas of forest known as terra firme along the highway Manuel Urbano. In the period of 13 months we collected a total of 10,446 sandfly specimens, 3,908 males (38%) and 6,465 females (62%), distributed in 43 species belonging to the genus Lutzomyia, 10 subgenera and six species groups. These results evidenced a diversified and abundant sand fly fauna, with some species not yet reported for Manaus county, close to the study area.
罗蛉属在新大陆具有重要意义，一些物种与利什曼病、巴尔通体病和虫媒病毒的病原体传播有关。2003年4月至2004年6月，对亚马孙州马纳卡普鲁县东北部地区白蛉动物群的丰富度和丰度进行了调查。使用16个疾控中心光诱捕器在沿曼努埃尔·乌尔巴诺公路的称为高地森林的区域进行捕获。在13个月的时间里，我们共收集了10446只白蛉标本，其中雄性3908只（38%），雌性6465只（62%），分布在罗蛉属的43个物种、10个亚属和6个物种组中。这些结果证明了白蛉动物群的多样性和丰富性，其中一些物种在靠近研究区域的马瑙斯县尚未有报道。
