( Figures 7–11 )

Lutzomyia (Coromyia) disneyi Williams, 1987: 525 (♂, ♀). Type locality: Belize, Cayo District, San Antonio. Additional references: Young & Duncan, 1994: 231 (taxonomy, geographical records, figures); Ibáñez-Bernal, 2001b: 373 (Toledo record, Belize).

Lutzomyia beltrani ( Belize form): Williams, 1976a: 595 (taxonomy, figures); Williams, 1976b: 601. Dampfomyia (Coromyia) disneyi (Williams) : Galati, 3003: 39, 103 (list, keys).

Diagnosis. Male: lateral lobe at most four times its maximum width; gonostylus with two strong spiniform setae, separated by more than 4 times the width of terminal spiniform seta, one basal thin setae and with preapical delicate seta; paramere with seate restricted to apical third, without angular dorsal projection (not considering terminalia inversion). Genital filaments shorter than 3.0 times the length of pump. Female: cibarium armature with 4 horizontal teeth, variable number of vertical teeth and lateral teeth, arch complete; spermathecal common duct broad, not more than two times as long as wide, individual ducts shorter than common duct or spermathecae ( Young & Duncan 1994).

Material examined. MEXICO: CHIAPAS: Guadalupe Miramar, 01-ix-2009, 1 ♂; 23-x-2009, 2 ♂; 08-xi-2009, 1 ♂; 18-ii-2010, 1 ♂; 19-iii-2010, 2 ♂; 11-viii-2010, 1 ♂; 18-xi-2010, 5 ♂; 24-v-2011, 1 ♂; 07-vi-2011, 1 ♂. Loma Bonita, 20-ii-2010, 1 ♂.

Distribution. BELIZE, GUATEMALA (Young & Duncan 1994; Galati 2003), and now MEXICO (Chiapas).

Remarks. The male is similar to Da. beltrani , but can be separated by the wider lateral lobe. The female of this species cannot be differentiated from those of Da. beltrani and Da. steatopyga. This is the first record of Da. disneyi in Mexico. Females of this species are not anthropophilous, but may feed bat or rodent blood.
