Abstract

Brazil presents great sand fly species diversity, with new species constantly being described, as new areas are surveyed to monitor sand flies. In captures undertaken in Porto Velho, Rondonia state-Brazil, a new species, Evandromyia (Aldamyia) piperiformis sp. nov. (Godoy, Cunha \& Galati 2017), was found and is here described. Both sexes of this new species may be distinguished from those of the Aldamyia subgenus through morphometric and morphological characters. Further, we present an identification key for the subgenus Aldamyia. (AU)
