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.
