    Morphological description of Pintomyia (Pifanomyia) veintemillasi n. sp., a new sand fly species from the sub-Andean region of Bolivia
    (BioMed Central, 2022) E. Martínez; Renato León; Andrei Daniel Mihalca; Jean-Pierre Dujardin; François Le Pont
    A new anthropophilic sand fly species is described as Pi. (Pif.) veintemillasi n. sp. This sand fly species was caught at about 900 m altitude in the Marimonos mountain range, a highly endemic area for cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis due to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis. Therefore, this species could be involved in the leishmaniasis transmission in the sub-Andean foothills of Alto Beni, Department of La Paz, Bolivia.

    Phlebotomine sand flies from Bolivia: Morphological description of Pintomyia (Pifanomyia) veintemillasi n. sp. from the sub-Andean region
    (Research Square (United States), 2022) E. Martínez; Renato León; Andrei Daniel Mihalca; Jean‐Pierre Dujardin; François Le Pont
    Abstract Pintomyia (Pifanomyia) veintemillasi n. sp., is described as a new anthropophilic sand fly species based on morphological diagnostic characteristics, which allow differentiating it from the closely related species Pintomyia (Pifanomyia) nevesi and Pintomyia (Pifanomyia) maranonensis within the Evansi series. This species was collected in the Marimonos mountain range, at around 900 m altitude in the Municipality of Palos Blancos, Sud Yungas Province, Department of La Paz, Bolivia, and was misidentified in the past as Pi . ( Pif. ) nevesi.
