Description
A sand fly survey was carried out as part of the environmental risk assessment in the region surrounding the construction of a hydroelectric power plant on the Teles Pires River, which demarks the boundary of the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Pará. In order to evaluate the diversity and similarity of the sand fly communities in sylvatic forest and domestic environments, sand flies were collected every 3 months for two years (December 2015 to July 2017). A total of 1,686 sand flies distributed in 14 genera and 59 species were collected and a new species was described.
Geographic Description
Teles Pires River, which demarks the boundary of the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Pará.
Data quality
The insects were identified following the key and classification proposed by Galati (2003, 2018). A subsample of the specimens were deposited in Coleção de Flebotomíneos (FIOCRUZ/COLFLEB) of the Instituto René Rachou, Fiocruz Minas.
Methods
In the field, sand flies collected in each trap were screened and stored in 1.5 mL microtubes submerged in 80% ethanol and transported to the laboratory. The insects were prepared according to Langeron (1949) and identified following the key and classification proposed by Galati (2003, 2018).
Data were analised in Excel, a data cleaning step was performed using Open Refine.
