Instituto de Medicina Regional; Argentina.The appearance of the vector of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) Lutzomyia longipalpis in the province of Formosa in 2004 was associated with urban epidemic risk for the first time in Argentina. During 2006, vectors, canine and human cases of VL were reported in the province of Misiones, and in summer 2008-2009, in the province of Corrientes. In Santiago del Estero province in 2008, cases of human and canine VL were associated with secondary vectors. Therefore, with the aim to know the current distribution of VL risk in the Chaco region, systematic captures of the vector were performed between January and April 2010 in 30 localities of Formosa and Chaco, and in the city of Reconquista, province of Santa Fe (224 traps/night). Lu. longipalpis was reported for the first time in the cities of Resistencia and Puerto Antequera (Chaco). Clorinda and Puerto Pilcomayo (Formosa) are the localities where the traps with more individuals were obtained, 158 and 241 Lu. longipalpis trap / site / night respectively. These results showed that the vector of urban epidemic VL is still spreading in Argentina, and already reached the province of Chaco. Sporadic cases reported in the Chaco region, transmitted by secondary vectors as Lu. migonei would also increase due to intensified surveillance, and the dispersion of the parasite associated with the transit of asymptomatic or symptomatic infected dogs

Considerations on the species complex of the Cortelezzii series (Diptera: Psychodidae) and description of Evandromyia chacuensis sp. nov., a new phlebotomine species of the Chaco Region, Argentina

A new species of phlebotomine sand fy is described and illustrated based on male and female specimens collected in rural and semi-urban areas of the Chaco Province, Argentina. A separation of the Cortelezzii series in two species complexes is proposed, as is a species key for its identification. The morphological characters of the new species permit its inclusion in the Cortelezzii series of genus Evandromyia, subgenus Barrettomyia (Diptera: Psychodidae). The species is named Evandromyia chacuensis sp. nov. Szelag, Rosa, Galati, Andrade Fhilo & Salomón (Diptera: Psychodidae).Fil: Szelag, Enrique Alejandro.

Description of Evandromyia cristacapita sp. nov., a new sand fly species of the Argentinian Chaco

A new species of phlebotomine sand fly collected in the rural and peri-urban areas of wet and dry subregions of the Chaco Province, Argentina, is described. Illustrations of male and female adults are presented. Morphological characters allow the inclusion of the new species within the Evandromyia genus, Barrettomyia subgenus, Cortelezzii series (Diptera: Psychodidae). Furthermore, we present an identification key for the Cortelezzii series of the Barrettomyia subgenus with a new distinct species complex for its correct identification. The species was denominated as Evandromyia cristacapita sp. nov.Fil: Szelag, Enrique Alejandro. Universidad Nacional del Nordeste; Argentina.

Nuevos registros de Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) para la Argentina

La presente nota informa sobre 5 nuevos registros de especies de Phlebotominae para Argentina: Micropygomyia oswaldoi (Mangabeira) y Pintomyia bianchigalatiae (Andrede-Filho, Aguiar, Dias & Falcão) en Iguazú, provincia de Misiones; Psathyromyia lanei (Barretto & Coutinho) en Posadas, Misiones; y Pintomyia torresi (Le Pont & Desjeux) en Nueva Pompeya, provincia de Chaco. Sciopemyia sordellii (Shannon & Del Ponte) y Brumptomyia brumpti (Larrouse), halladas en Iguazú, son nuevas citas para Misiones
