There is mounting evidence that the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) (Lutz and Neiva 1912), the main vector of the visceral leishmaniasis in Latin America, is a complex of sibling species (Lanzaro et al. 1993Citation ; Dujardin et al. 1997Citation ; Lampo et al. 1999Citation ; Uribe 1999Citation ; Arrivillaga and Feliciangeli 2001Citation ; Soto et al. 2001Citation ). But, the evidence for Brazilian populations is still contradictory. Crossing experiments, pheromonal (Ward et al. 1983Citation , 1988Citation ; Hamilton et al. 1999aCitation , 1999bCitation ), copulation songs (Souza et al. 2002Citation ) and molecular analyses (Bauzer et al. 2002Citation ) all support the idea of a species complex and seem to confirm the data obtained for other populations of this species. But work with isoenzyme loci suggests that although it is a highly polymorphic and geographically variable species, L. longipalpis should not be considered a species complex . . .
