Phlebotomine sand flies are small insects of great medical importance. This study presents new records of phlebotomine sand flies, which augment the list of species, recorded in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. Sand flies were collected using CDC miniature light traps. Collections were made between November 2008 and April 2016, in 47 municipalities within the state of Alagoas. Twenty-seven thousand two-hundred forty-four sand flies were collected, representing 18 species in seven genera. Lutzomyia longipalpis was the predominant species (85.4% of total), and it was recorded in all biomes. Three species (Evandromyia evandroi (Costa Lima and Antunes 1936), Evandromyia tupynambai (Mangabeira 1942), and Pressatia choti (Floch and Abonnenc 1941)) were collected in coastal and Atlantic forest biomes; five species (Lutzomyia villelai (Mangabeira 1942), Micropygomyia oswaldoi (Mangabeira 1942), Nyssomyia umbratilis (Ward and Frahia 1977), Nyssomyia intermedia (Lutz and Neiva 1912), and Nyssomyia whitmani (Antunes and Coutinho 1939)) were collected in Atlantic forest and Caatinga biomes. The species Evandromyia corumbaensis (Galati, Nunes, Oshiro and Rego 1989) and Psathyromyia naftalekatzi (Falcão, Andrade-Filho, Almeida and Brandão-Filho 2000) were found only in the coastal zones. This work provides an updated list of the phlebotomine sand flies of Alagoas, with some notes on their taxonomy, ecology, distribution, and epidemiological relevance.
白蛉是具有重大医学意义的小型昆虫。本研究展示了白蛉的新记录，扩充了巴西阿拉戈斯州记录的物种清单。使用疾控中心微型诱虫灯收集白蛉。收集工作于2008年11月至2016年4月在阿拉戈斯州的47个市进行。共收集到27244只白蛉，代表7个属的18个物种。长须罗蛉是优势种（占总数的85.4%），在所有生物群落中均有记录。3个物种（埃氏伊蚊（科斯塔·利马和安图内斯，1936年）、图皮南巴伊伊蚊（曼加贝拉，1942年）和乔氏普雷萨蚊（弗洛赫和阿博嫩克，1941年））在沿海和大西洋森林生物群落中被收集到；5个物种（维氏罗蛉（曼加贝拉，1942年）、奥斯瓦尔多微蠓（曼加贝拉，1942年）、荫生奈蚊（沃德和弗拉希亚，1977年）、中间奈蚊（卢茨和内瓦，1912年）和惠特曼奈蚊（安图内斯和库蒂尼奥，1939年））在大西洋森林和卡廷加生物群落中被收集到。科伦巴伊伊蚊（加拉蒂、努内斯、大代和雷戈，1989年）和纳夫塔莱卡齐萨氏蚊（法尔考、安德拉德-菲洛、阿尔梅达和布兰当-菲洛，2000年）仅在沿海地区被发现。这项工作提供了阿拉戈斯州白蛉的最新清单，并对其分类学、生态学、分布和流行病学相关性做了一些说明。
