Genus Brumptomyia França & Parrot

Phlebotomus, subg. Brumptomyia França & Parrot, 1921: 281. Type species, Brumptomyia brumpti Larrousse, 1920 (sub. des., Dyar 1929: 112).

Comm.: This constitutes a taxonomically stable genus which comprises 26 species distributed from Mexico to Argentina (Galati et al. 2007), eight of which have been recorded in Colombia. As in other phlebotomines, the females of Brumptomyia exhibit haematophagous habits but they are clearly zoophilic, without any role having been attributed to these species in the transmission of pathogens.
