Ecology of Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera, Psychodidae) in Brazilian Atlantic Forest
The phlebotomine sandfly fauna of a primary forest reserve at Morretes (eastern Paraná State) was studied, using CDC-like light traps, one night per month, at canopy and ground level, between April 1995 and March 1996. A total of 3,106 insects were collected, identified as belonging to nine species....
