Resumo:
Studies on the Phlebotomine sandfly fauna (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Chapada dos Guimarães, municipality of Mato Grosso State, Brazil, showed the presence of 2 species of Brumptomyia and 43 species of Lutzomyia; all were found for the first time in Mato Grosso state. During a period of three years (1993 to 1995) collections were carried out to know the species diversity and ecological aspects of the sandfly fauna in that area. The authors draw attention to the presence of L. ayrozai, L. flaviscutellata and L. whitmani, known vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and, L. longipalpis, major vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Brasil.
