[Findings of Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) in the southern coast of the State of São Paulo, Brazil].
Five species of phlebotomine sandflies were caught on the Southern part of the coast of S. Paulo, Brazil. CDC-light and Shannon traps were used, as well as human-bait, during two investigations into Culicidae mosquitoes. Lutzomyia intermedia and L. flaviscutellata were found among those sandflies. The localities investigated were swampy environments and scant human cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis have been notified there. Both situations suggest the autochthonous nature of the human cases registered there.
