This study was undertaken to identify the phlebotomine fauna and species abundance in domiciliary and peridomiciliary ( hen- house and guava- tree) environments, on a lake shore, a cultivated area of coffee and banana, and a forested area of Conceic ao da Aparecida municipality, southeastern of the state of Minas Gerais, to provide information for the control and epidemiological surveillance of leishmaniasis in this area. The captures were carried out monthly between May 2001 and November 2002, with automatic light and Shannon traps. A total of 1444 sand flies were captured, 951 ( 76.5%) with automatic light traps and 493 ( 23.5%) with the Shannon trap. Thirteen species were captured, the most frequent being Nyssomyia whitmani ( 62.7%), Migonemyia migonei ( 21.4%), Pintomyia fischeri ( 6.9%), and Evandromyia lenti ( 3.6%). Species abundance was determined using the automatic light traps installed in the six environments. The most abundant species according to the standardized index of species abundance were Ny. whitmani ( 1.0) and Mg. migonei ( 0.82). In view of the dominance of these two species, known vectors of cutaneous leishmaniasis in other Brazilian areas, their participation in the transmission of the disease in this county is suggested. The diversity and evenness indexes in the domicile were the lowest due to the high frequency ( 83%) of Ny. whitmani. The capture of Lutzomyia longipalpis, rarely recorded in the southeastern and southern regions of Minas Gerais, is also noteworthy.
