Abstract

New distributional records and notes on the ecology of several species of Lutzomyia sand flies are given. In Texas, L. anthophora (Addis) is closely associated with the Neotoma woodrat. L. texana (Dampf) was commonly taken in armadillo burrows. L. vexator occidentis (Fairchild and Hertig) and L. cruciata (Coq.), a man-biter, were also collected in Texas. L. cubensis (Fairchild and Trapido), previously known only from Cuba, L. cruciata and L. vexator vexator (Coq.) are herein reported from Florida.
