Aiming to compare and update the sand fl y fauna of São José farm, Carmo District, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and considering the environmental changes occurred, the biology and ecology of the local sandfl y species were examined twelve years later as a complementary study carried. Captures were made in the intra, peridomicile and in the woods, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. 1210 sandfl ies of fi fteen species of the Lutzomyia were captured: L. intermedia, L. whitmani, L. lenti, L. aragaoi, L. cortelezzii, L. quinquefer, L. carrerai carrerai, L. davisi, L. lanei, L. fi scheri, L. monticola, L. ayrozai, L. sordellii, L. lutziana, L. sp and two species of the Brumptomyia Kind: B. brumpti and B. cardosoi. In 1994 and 1995 were collected 4603 samples from six species of the former genus and three of the second. Lutzomyia intermedia was predominant, in the intra and in the peridomicile, in both periods. B. bumpti, collected only in the recent prevailed i n the woods. Six species implicated as vector of Leishmania: L. intermedia, L. whitmani, L. ayrozai, L. fi scheri, L. davisi, L. carrerai carrerai and L. migonei have been collected in the area, however, this last only in the previous study.
