Entomological News 112 (5), 337-339
Abstract: Fortuitous collections of female sand fly Lutzomyia cruciata were carried out in "Sudzal chico", Tzucacab and Xmatkuil, Yucatan. This represents the first report of the anthropophilic sand fly L. cruciata in the state of Yucatán. The importance of this finding in relation to transmission of Leishmania mexicana in the area is yet unknown.
