Abstract
Lutzomyia intermedia and Lutzomyia whitmani occur sympatrically in the district of Posse, municipality of
Petrópolis, in the State of Rio de Janeiro (114 km from the city of Rio de Janeiro), where sand flies were captured
weekly for three consecutive years in both the peridomicile and forest, in two first years from 18:00 to 22:00 h, using
a Shannon trap and CDC light traps. The anthropophilic habit was assessed by recording the specimens that bit the
human captors. Considering the different capture types and sites, the following species were identified: Brumptomyia
brumpti, B. cardosoi, B. guimaraesi, Lutzomyia amarali, L. longipalpis, L. microps, L. costalimai, L. edwardsi, L. firmatoi,
L. migonei, L. termitophila, L. tupynambai, L. fischeri, L. pessoai, L. lutziana, L. shannoni, L. barrettoi, L. intermedia, L.
whitmani, L. lloydi, and L. minasensis. L. intermedia (38.3%) and L. whitmani (38.6%) predominated. L. intermedia
predominated in the peridomicile, where it displayed more intense anthropophily, while L. whitmani displayed
greater density in the banana plantations and forest, preferential sites for biting humans. Studies on seasonality
showed that while L. intermedia displayed greater density in the hottest months of the year (December, January, and
February), L. whitmani was abundant in the coolest months (June, July, and August), although both occurred
throughout the year.
