Abstract

The development of our knowledge of the evolution of organisms has been highly dynamic and has led to alterations in the systematics and consequently in the taxonomy of living beings. These alterations certainly cause problems for beginners in the field or those who are dedicated to other branches of science and need this knowledge, especially when the modifications made take place at the genera level, because they imply changes in the nomenclature of the species (Lewis et al. 1977; Artemiev 1991). However, this is an inevitable aspect of science that serves as a stimulus in the search for a system that will truly reflect the affinities among the taxa and contribute to the understanding of the relationship between organisms, which is especially important in the case of vectors and parasites. Thus, we judged it opportune to present a historical sketch of the classification of the Phlebotominae in order to provide the basic elements for those who have to deal with changes of nomenclature.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This was proposed on the basis of the comparison of the type male of Mi. goiana and three males from Piauí state identified by one of the authors of the species (Falcão A.L.) with seven specimens captured in VI.1940 by Mangabeira in the type locality of Ph. villelai. Three other males from Aurá, Belém, Pará, captured by Damasceno, VIII. 1940, and also identified as Ph. villelai by Mangabeira, 1942, belong to an undescribed species. All these specimens are deposited in the Museu de Zoologia of São Paulo University (Galati 2003a, b, p. 33).

  2. 2.

    R. Fernandes (NAMRID) captured a specimem in Peru and had difficulties identifyng it because many of its characteristics were different from those of Psathyromyia, in which the species was included by its authors (in Barrett et al. 1996) and adopted by Galati (2003a, b). However, it was observed in the specimen captured by R. Fernandes the presence of setae on the abdominal pleurae, an autapomorphy of the subgenus Tricholateralis, beyond other typical characteristics of this group of insects.

  3. 3.

    In the classification of Galati (2003a, b) this species was inserted in Psathryromyia (Incertae sedis). However, two male and two female paratypes (deposited at the Entomological Collection - Smithsonian Institution/Walter Reeed Biosystematic Unit, Suitland, MD, USA) were examined by Sábio P.B. (Personal information) who observed in these specimens the presence of the ventro-cervical sensilla which excludes it from Psathryromyia. The presence of the papilla in fIII was also observed, therefore, its insertion in Sergentomyiina should be excluded. On the other hand, three characters observed: absence of setae on the anterior region of the katepisternum, ascoids with reduced posterior spur and ringed spermathecae are synapomorphies shared with some of the subgenera of Lutzomyia, Castromyia, Tricholateralis and Lutzomyia. However, it does not have characters which permits its insertion into any of these subgenera.

  4. 4.

    The insertion in Lutzomyia is provisional. No characters of the female were described which make it possible to include it more precisely in a given genus, and the male is not known either. The inclusion of Lu. manciola in Sciopemyia was suggested by Ibáñez-Bernal (2001). However, this genus presents a short head and labrum-epifaringe, so that the sum of both is smaller than that of fI + fII, which are long; also, there is no information on the ventro-cervical sensillae, which are absent in Sciopemyia (Galati 2003, 36).

  5. 5.

    The insufficient description of the characters of this species and the similarity of their epermathecae with those of Lu. ignacioi led us to include it together with this species. See the previous note.

  6. 6.

    Although Lu. tanyopsis presents ascoids with posterior spur just as Psathyromyia, this characteristic represents a plesiomorphic state that alone does not allow its inclusion in this genus; moreover, its very long clypeus also distinguishes it from the species of this group. On the other hand, the species of Lutzomyiina and Sergentomyiina do not present ascoids with posterior spur and those of this latter subtribe present another palpal formula (Galati 2003a, b, p.36).

  7. 7.

    The proposal was based on the capture of two males of Mg. baityi (Damasceno, Causey & Arouck, 1945) along with 3 females identical to Mg. bursiformis (Floch & Abonnenc 1944) in experimental chicken in Brejão Farm, municipality of Guaira, State of São Paulo, IV.1976 and in the absence of other species that were not known by both sexes (Gomes et al. 1978) (Galati 2003a, b, pg. 37).

  8. 8.

    Male insufficiently described; however, the characteristicss of the genitalia designed suggest that the species belonged to the series Townsendi (see identification keys for series of species).

  9. 9.

    Their occurrence in the Brazilian states is with question mark as well as Paraguay yet need confirmation, because the species were reported as Pa. shannoni.

  10. 10.

    There is a wide geographical distribution indicated for this species, possibly, its actual occurrence is limited to the trans-Andean and Andean regions. In countries with trans-Andean, Andean and cis-Andean areas, studies are needed to identify the limit of its distribution. In cis-Andean areas where Pa. shannoni has been identified, it is possible that most of the specimens belong to Pa. bigeniculata.
