Both sexes of Lutzomyia legerae n. sp., a new species of phlebotomine sand fly belonging to the subgenus Lutzomyia, cruciata complex, are described from specimens collected in peridomestic environment, by light-trap, in central Nicaragua. Females of the new species are very close to L. cruciata. Therefore, in the leishmaniasis foci where the two species occur sympatrically implication of each species as a vector has to be carefully investigated.
利什曼原虫属新种卢氏白蛉（Lutzomyia legerae n. sp.）属于卢氏白蛉亚属、十字蛉复合体，在尼加拉瓜中部的居家周边环境中通过灯光诱捕收集到的标本对其雌雄两性进行了描述。新种雌性与十字蛉非常接近。因此，在两种蛉同域分布的利什曼病疫源地，必须仔细调查每种蛉作为媒介的作用。
