Lutzomyia itambe sp. n. is described as a new species of neotropical cavernicolous phlebotomine sand fly based on specimens of males and females collected in the Gruta do Itambé, Altinópolis municipality, São Paulo State. In addition to this, we describe the male of Lutzomyia fonsecai (Costa Lima, 1932) collected near their type-locality in Bolivia. These descriptions are supported by illustrations that detail the morphological and morphometrical characteristics of the specimens. Lutzomyia itambe sp. n., L. fonsecai, along with L. dispar Martins & Silva, 1963, comprise the already named "Fonsecai complex". Both sex present parallel labial sutures, not forked, and males can be differentiated by parameral characters, while in females the distinction is made by characters of the palpi and spermathecae.
伊坦贝新蝇种描述为一种新的嗜洞穴血蝇科沙蝇，基于在巴西圣保罗州阿尔蒂诺波利斯市伊坦贝洞穴采集的雄性和雌性标本。此外，我们还描述了在玻利维亚其模式产地附近采集的福塞卡新蝇（Costa Lima, 1932）的雄性。这些描述得到了详细描述标本形态和形态特征的插图的支持。伊坦贝新蝇种、福塞卡新蝇以及马丁斯和席尔瓦于 1963 年命名的 Dispar 新蝇共同构成了已经命名的“福塞卡复合体”。雌雄两性的唇瓣缝线均为平行的，不分叉，而雄性可以通过阳茎特征来区分，而在雌性中，通过触须和受精囊的特征来区分。
