Diagnosis.
According to the classification of
Galati (1995
,
2003
) subgenus
Helcocyrtomyia
is distinguished from other
Lutzomyia
subgenera (
sensu
Galati
) by the following combination of characters: katepisternum with pilosity on anterior margin; tarsomere 3 with spines grouped in 3 or more rows; male gonostylus with two apical spiniform setae; female spermatheca annulated.
Remarks.
Lutzomyia (Helcocyrtomyia)
as defined by
Galati (2003)
differs from that defined by
Young & Duncan (1994)
as the latter included species of the species-group
migonei
,
Pintomyia (Pifanomyia)
series
pia
,
Micropygomyia (Coquillettimyia)
series
vexator
, series
chiapanensis
, and a few ungrouped species. Currently there are approximately 36 species belonging to 3 series;
sanguinaria
,
osornoi
and
peruensis
(
Galati 2003
)
. In this study we collected one species of series
sanguinaria
.
