Description

Lutzomyia gaminarai (Cordero, Vogelsang & Cossio)

Phlebotomus gaminarai Cordero, Vogelsang & Cossio, 1928: 649 (male, female). Type locality Uruguay ("Estancia el Sarandí", Departamento de Salto; Tambores, Departamento de Tacuarembó). Lutzomyia gaminarai: Martins, 1961: 312 (male redescription); Forattini 1973: 253.

Literature records in Uruguay. Cordero et al. (1928), Cordero (1930). Tambores, Tacuarembó; "Estancia el Sarandí", Salto.

Remarks. This species is only known from the male, and is similar to Lutzomyia longipalpis, but the parameres present the dorsal setae born in a well-developed tubercule (Cordero et al. 1938; Young & Duncan 1994). Lutzomyia gaminarai is recorded in Brazil and Uruguay but has not been captured in the latter since 1930, and neither the specimens of the Uruguayan collection could be observed again by other researchers.
