Lutzomyia França, 1924 Lutzia França, 1920: 234. Type species: Phlebotomus longipalpus Lutz & Neiva (original description, preoccupied by Theobald, 1903 [Culicidae]). Lutzomyia França, 1924: 10 (as subgenus of Phlebotomus, new name for Lutzia França). Type species: Phlebotomus longipalpis Lutz & Neiva. Additional references: Lewis et al., 1977: 325 (classification); Young & Duncan, 1994: 1 (taxonomy revision); Galati, 1995: 136; Galati, 2003: 34 (listed). Francaia Dyar & Nuñez-Tovar, 1926-27: 155 (as Françaia or Fransaia, new name for Lutzia França). Lutziomyia Cordero, Vogelsang & Cossio, 1928: 649 (new name for Lutzia França). Lutziola Strand, 1932: 195 (new name for Lutzia França). Diagnosis. According to Galati (1995), genus Lutzomyia sensu stricto is characterized by the following apomorphies: Male flagellomere 1 with apical and basal papillae present; female palpomere 2/ palpus length relation between 0.16–0.19; male gonostylus with the lower external spiniform setae at middle or in basal half; female spermatheca annulated; common spermathecal duct evident but short. Remarks. According with Lewis et al. (1977) and Young & Duncan (1994) the genus Lutzomyia includes the New World species of Phlebotominae with the exception of Warileya Hertig, 1948, and Brumptomyia. Based on a phylogenetic analysis, Galati (1995, 2003) proposed Lutzomyia in a strict sense, as in the diagnosis presented above, to include species of the subgenera Helcocyrtomyia Barretto, 1962, Castromyia Mangabeira, 1942, Lutzomyia s. str., and Tricholateralis Galati, 1995.
