São Paulo , Brazil . Bionomics . In Brazil , the immature stages of this species were collected with sapucaia nut oviposition traps ( Vieira et al . 2020 ). Sabethes albiprivus was the most abundant and widely distributed Sabethes species c ollected during the YFV surveys conducted in the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes ( Abreu et al . 2019 ). Also, in the present study, females were frequently collected biting humans at ground level ( Coleção de Culicidae 2023 ). Arbovirus infection records . This species has been found naturally infected with YFV in northern Argentina ( Goenaga et al . 2012 ) and in the Cerrado biome in southeastern Brazil ( Oliveira et al . 2023 ) but it is usually considered to play a secondary or local role in the maintenance of sylvatic YFV transmission ( Abreu et al . 2019 ). Also, a Brazilian population of Sa . albiprivus was found to be capable of experimentally transmitting YFV ( Couto-Lima et al . 2017 ), but not Zika virus (ZKV) ( Fernandes et al . 2019 ). Occurrence in Brazil . States of Acre , Amazonas, Bahia , Ceará , Distrito Federal, Espírito Santo , Goiás , Maranhão , Minas Gerais , Mato Grosso , Mato Grosso do Sul , Pará, Pernambuco , Paraná , Rio de Janeiro , Rio Grande do Sul , Santa Cataria, São Paulo and Sergipe ( Lane & Cerqueira 1942 ; Lane 1953 ; Forattini et al . 1968 , 1986a , 1986b , 1973 ; Xavier & Mattos 1989; Xavier et al . 1989; Guimarães et al. 2003 ; Paterno & Marcondes 2004 , Marcondes & Paterno 2005 ; Cardoso et al . 2005 , 2010; Camargo-Neves et al . 2005 ; Hutchings et al . 2005 ; Marcondes et al . 2006 ; Pedro et al . 2008 ; Santos et al . 2008 ; Gomes et al . 2010 ; Lira-Vieira et al . 2013 ; Mascheretti et al . 2013 ; Chaves et al . 2014 ; Mucci et al . 2015 ; Abreu et al . 2019 ; Cunha et al . 2019 ; Stanzani et al . 2023 ). Occurrence in other countries . Argentina , Bolivia , Colombia , French Guiana, Guyana , Paraguay and Suriname ( Wilkerson et al . 2021 ). As indicated in the key, two morphotype females of Sa. albiprivus occur in Brazil ( Fig. 8 ).
