Abstract

In an investigation carried out at the headquarters of Jequitibá in Três Picos State Park, the presence of the sandfly Migonemyia vaniae Galati, Fonseca & Marassá, 2007 was observed. Morphometric analyzes of the sperm pump and aedeagal ducts and photographs of the structures were performed to compare the differences between Migonemyia vaniae and Migonemyia migonei (França, 1920). Since its description, Mg. vaniae has been recorded only in the state of São Paulo. Therefore, we report the first encounter of this species in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
