    Abstract:
    Captures of sand flies were carried out in peridomiciliary, domiciliary and forest environments on São José farm, located in Carmo county where an autochthonous case of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis occurred to investigate the probable vector of the disease. A total of 4.595 sand flies belonging to six species of the genus Lutzomyia were captured: L. intermedia (Lutz & Neiva), L. lenti (Mangabeira), L. whitmani (Antunes & Coutinho) L. migonei (França), L. ayrozai (Barretto & Coutinho) andL. quinquefer (Dyar). L. intermedia was the predominant species (99.1%), its highest frequencies occurring between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
