Lutzomyia (Helcocyrtomyia) hartmanni (Fairchild & Hertig): Young & Duncan, 1994: 728 (taxonomy, references, distribution); Galati, 2003: 35 (listed as series sanguinaria, keys).

Diagnosis. Clypeus at most 0.3 times the length head. Male: gonocoxite with a basal tuft of 1 to 4 setae, of which one is large and the other if present very small; nearly all specimens observed from Mexico has only the large setae; gonostylus with the internal spiniform setae originated at middle of structure; wing with delta small or similar than 0.33 the alpha length; diameter of the basal apex of ejaculatory apodeme about 4.0 times the diameter of ejaculatory apodeme at middle; lateral lobe shortest than gonocoxite. Female: palpal segment 5 as long or shortest than 1.25 the length of 3 segment; spermatheca thin, the apical annulus as wide as the preceding one; individual spermathecal ducts longer than spermatheca (Galati 2003).

Material examined. MEXICO: CHIAPAS: Guadalupe Miramar, 12-viii-2009, 2 ♂; 18-ii-2010, 2 ♂; 19-iii- 2010, 3 ♂; 20-iv-2010, 3 ♂; 22-iv-2010, 2 ♂; 11-v-2010, 1 ♂; 12-v-2010, 10 ♂; 15-v-2010, 1 ♂; 13-v-2010, 3 ♂; 21-iv-2010, 1♀; 11-v-2010, 1 ♀; 12-v-2010, 2 ♀; 15-vi-2010, 1 ♂; 11-viii-2010, 6 ♂; 20-x-2010, 1 ♂; 16-xi-2010, 3 ♂; 17-xi-2010, 1♂; 02-xii-2010, 2 ♂; 19-i-2011, 1 ♂; 20-i-2011, 1 ♂; 08-ii-2011, 1 ♂; 15-iii-2011, 1 ♂. Loma Bonita, 16-i-2010, 2 ♀; 19-ii-2010, 1 ♀; 20-iii-2010, 1 ♂. Collected with CDC light traps.

Distribution. COSTA RICA, PANAMA, COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, and PERU (Galati 2003). This is the first record in MEXICO.

Remarks. One specimen from Guadalupe Miramar, show a teratology in the gonostylus as it presents two median setae, so the spiniform setae formula of gonostylus is 2+ 1+ 2+ 1 in both sides. All other diagnostic characters correspond to Lu. (Hel.) hartmanni. Females of this species are anthropophilous.
