Abstract
Sand flies are insects of medical importance that are present in high diversity in the Neotropical region. In Brazil, approximately 280 species have been recorded (Galati, 2018) and 13 of these species are proven vectors of Leishmania spp. (Rangel et al., 2018). Prior to this study, 131 species had been recorded in Rondonia State (Galati, 2018). This study presents new records of four sand fly species found in Rondonia State. These records are of male specimens collected between 2016 and 2017 using HP light traps. Collections were made in three protected areas that are characterized by dense ombrophylous forest: 1- Jamari National Forest, Itapua do Oeste municipality, 2- Jaru Biological Reserve, Vale do Anari and Ji-Parana municipalities, 3- Guajara-Mirim State Park, Nova Mamore municipality. This study increases the number of species recorded in Rondonia to 135, an increase of nearly 4%, and it updates the number of species from genera found in Rondonia to: Brumptomyia (6), Nyssomyia (9), Psathyromyia (31) and Trichopygomyia.
