MEXICO (Chiapas, Veracruz) (Ibáñez-Bernal et al . 2011), GUATEMALA , BELIZE (Ibáñez- Bernal 2001, Young & Duncan 1994 , Galati 2003 ). Remarks. The male of Da. permira is easely to separate from other species of Dampfomyia by the characteristic morphology of the parameres. This is not the case for females, as Da. leohidalgoi ( Ibáñez-Bernal, Hernández-Xoliot & Mendoza, 2006 ) is very similar, only differentiated by the relative length of the spermathecal ducts. Da. permira has spermathecal projections smaller and finger-like, similar to those of Da. leohidalgoi , but the individual ducts of Da. permira are comparatively short and broad. Females apparently feed on the blood of small mammals.
