BACKGROUND

The cave fauna of the Brazil is poorly documented, and among the insects those live or frequent caves and their adjacent environments phlebotomine sand flies call for special attention because several species are vectors of pathogens among vertebrates hosts. A new species of sand fly from Minas Gerais is described based in females and males collected in a cave of the municipality of Lassance.

RESULTS

The morphological characters of the new species permit to include in the Evandromyia genus, cortelezzii complex. This complex consists of three species: Evandromyia corumbaensis (Galati, Nunes, Oshiro & Rego, 1989), Evandromyia cortelezzii (Brethes, 1923) and Evandromyia sallesi (Galvao & Coutinho, 1940).

CONCLUSIONS

The new species can be separate from the others of the cortelezzii complex through morphological characters of the male terminalia and female spermathecae.

背景

巴西的洞穴动物群记录不佳，在昆虫中，那些生活或经常出没于洞穴及其周围环境的嗜人按蚊沙蝇尤其值得关注，因为有几种是脊椎动物宿主病原体的媒介。本文基于在米纳斯吉拉斯州一个洞穴中采集的雌性和雄性个体，描述了一种来自巴西的新沙蝇。

结果

新种的形态特征使其归入 Evandromyia 属 cortelezzii 复合体。该复合体由三个物种组成：Evandromyia corumbaensis（Galati、Nunes、Oshiro 和 Rego，1989 年）、Evandromyia cortelezzii（Brethes，1923 年）和 Evandromyia sallesi（Galvao 和 Coutinho，1940 年）。
