Warileya Hertig, 1948: 12 View in CoL . Type species, Warileya phlebotomanica Hertig, 1948 View in CoL (orig. des.).

Comm.: Unlike Lutzomyia View in CoL and Brumptomyia View in CoL that present a wide diversity and distribution in the Neotropics, Warileya View in CoL includes only nine described species, distributed in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and French Guiana (CIPA group 1999). The genus, which is associated principally with forest habitats, is represented in Colombia by the following two species, the last of which has been observed biting man in this country ( Young 1979).
