Diagnosis.
According to
Galati (1995)
, genus
Lutzomyia
sensu stricto
is characterized by the following apomorphies: Male flagellomere 1 with apical and basal papillae present; female palpomere 2/ palpus length relation between 0.16–0.19; male gonostylus with the lower external spiniform setae at middle or in basal half; female spermatheca annulated; common spermathecal duct evident but short.
Remarks.
According with
Lewis
et al.
(1977)
and
Young & Duncan (1994)
the genus
Lutzomyia
includes the New World species of Phlebotominae with the exception of
Warileya
Hertig, 1948
, and
Brumptomyia
. Based on a phylogenetic analysis,
Galati (1995
,
2003
) proposed
Lutzomyia
in a strict sense, as in the diagnosis presented above, to include species of the subgenera
Helcocyrtomyia
Barretto, 1962
,
Castromyia
Mangabeira, 1942
,
Lutzomyia
s. str
., and
Tricholateralis
