Abstract
During two consecutive years, studies on the sand fly fauna in Poco das Ant as and Fazenda Bom Retire, two Atlantic Rain Forest Reserves from the State of Rio de Janeiro, were performed using Shannon traps, CDC light traps and human bait collections. Eleven species were identified; Lutzomyia longipal pis, L. migonei, L. edwardsi, L. intermedia, L. whitmani, L. fischeri, L. s hannoni, L. ayrozai, L. hirsuta, L. monticola and L. misionensis (first occ urrence in the State of Rio de Janeiro). L. intermedia and L. whitmani were the predominant anthropophilic species around houses, while L. hirsuta pre dominated in the forest.
