Brumptomyia França & Parrot, 1921

Phlebotomus (Brumptomyia) França & Parrot, 1921: 281 (as subgenus). Type species: Phlebotomus brumpti Larrousse, 1920 (designated by Dyar, 1929: 112).

Brumptomyia França & Parrot, 1921 (as genus): Theodor, 1948: 104; Theodor, 1965: 173, 180; Forattini, 1973: 521; Martins et al., 1978: 9; Artemiev, 1991: 72; Young & Duncan, 1994: 36 (keys); Ibáñez-Bernal, 1999: 66 (taxonomic history); Galati, 2003: 31 (classification, species list).

Diagnosis. Antennal flagellomeres with ascoids composed by one long distal branch and a short proximal branch; thorax with no post-alar bristle; male genitalia with gonocoxite having a longitudinal internal row of strong setae on distal half: female cibarium with several longitudinal rows of horizontal teeth and with sclerotized bulge posterior to teeth ( Galati 2003).

Remarks. 26 species have been described, with only two previously recorded in Mexico ( Ibáñez-Bernal 1999). Currently there are no useful morphological characters to separate females of different species and for that reason the females recorded here are presented separately as Brumptomyia spp.
