“…The nomenclature of the types in this catalogue and the geographical distribution of the species are following Galati (2018). This catalogue was devised and organized according to previous research on other groups of insects, including sand flies (Santos et al, 2014;Adams & Shimabukuro, 2018;Falaschi et al, 2020;González et al, 2021). The other species of Phlebotominae (non-type) deposited in the collection are listed in the Supplementary Material.…”

“…Sand flies can be found in institutional collections (Santos et al, 2014;Adams & Shimabukuro, 2018, Andrade-Filho et al, 2022, including the named type-series, composed of the type specimen which is the example from which the taxon was described (ICZN, 1999). Brazil boasts seven scientific collections that house type specimens of the Phlebotominae: (I) "Coleção de Flebotomíneos do Instituto Evandro Chagas" (ColFleb IEC); (II) "Coleção de Flebotomíneos" (FIOCRUZ/COLFLEB); (III) "Coleção de Entomologia Médica da Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo" (FSP-USP/ SP); (IV) "Coleção de Invertebrados do Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo" (MZUSP/SP); (V) "Coleção de Invertebrados do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia" (INPA/AM); (VI) "Coleção Entomológica do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz" (CEIOC/RJ) and (VII) "Coleção Entomológica dos Instituto Butantan" (IBut/SP).…”

In addition to these, it is possible to obtain information on types of Phlebotominae in collections abroad (Adams & Shimabukuro, 2018).…”

The subfamily Phlebotominae is represented by insects commonly known as sand flies widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, with the Neotropical region having the greatest diversity. Only New Zealand or the Pacific Islands, excepting New Caledonia, do not present records. One means of access to the more than 1,060 described species is through the specimens deposited in biological collections, and the availability of associated data on online platforms for consultation on the part of students and researchers. This being the case, this study aimed catalogue the sand flies deposited in the Invertebrate Collection of the MZUSP (University of São Paulo Museum of Zoology). Twenty-nine species designated as type material were found being of nine holotypes, one “allotype” and 90 paratypes described from five countries in the Americas: Panama, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, and Brazil. In addition to these, 1,346 non-type specimens, from 12 Brazilian states, are deposited in the collection and have been included here in list form. The MZUSP sand fly collection currently houses specimens from 152 species, which represents 28% (546) of the Phlebotominae fauna of the Americas.

“…Secondly, biological collections like this one are important to science, as they enable the development of national strategic research and compliance with international commitments and treaties [ 1 , 4 , 5 ] . Thirdly, they are essential for any researcher who needs to reference a currently recognized name and other information related to any taxon of interest [ 6 , 7 ] . …”

Biological collections are important for acquiring knowledge of the biodiversity of a specific environment. Here, we organize, list and catalog adult specimens of Culicidae from the Parasitology Collection of the Basic Pathology Department at the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil, and present a databank of taxonomic and collection information for each sample. Culicids were collected using different methodologies in 18 municipalities in Paraná state, between 1967 and 1999. There are 5,739 catalogued specimens, of which 4,703 (81.94%) are identified at species level, with a diversity of 100 species. Of these, 18 are new recorded samples for Paraná, and three are new for Brazil. This collection is named the Ana Leuch Lozovei Entomological Collection in honor of the 30 years Prof Lovozei dedicated to culicid study in Paraná. The collection comprises insect vectors or potential vectors, of agents causing human diseases.

Dentro del género Lutzomyiaalgunas especies son vectores de la enfermedad llamada leishmaniasis, la cual tiene implicaciones en la salud pública, desarrollando diferentes manifestaciones clínicas como leishmaniasis cutánea, visceral y mucocutánea que afectan altamente al ser humano. El objetivo de este estudio fuerealizar un inventario de las especies del género Lutzomyia presentes en seis zonas del departamento del Atlántico. Se implementaron 3 técnicas de capturas tradicionales: trampas CDC entre 18:00-06:00, trampa Shannon entre 19:00-22:00 y búsqueda activa de flebotomíneos con aspiradores bucales en troncos, bases de árboles y otros sitios entre 09:00-11:00 y 16:00-17:30, en seis municipios del departamento del Atlántico, Colombia. Se capturaron diez especies flebotomíneas y se reporta por vez primera para el departamento del Atlántico el hallazgo de Lutzomyia longipalpis y Lutzomyia atroclavata. De las diez especies capturadas, Lutzomyia longipalpistiene antecedentes como vector de Leishmania infantumen Colombia y en otras regiones de Latinoamérica, además es considerada el principal vector de leishmaniasis visceral en las Américas. La especie más abundante y con mayor distribución espacial fue Lu. evansi, principal vector de leishmaniasis visceral en la región Caribe. En conclusión,la riqueza de la fauna flebotomínea del departamento de Atlántico se actualiza a doce especies, con el primer registro de Lu. longipalpisy Lu. atroclavata. También se reporta la fauna flebotomínea por primera vez en localidades del departamento de Atlántico como Campeche, Puerto Colombia, Luruaco, Ponedera y Campo de la Cruz.
