a mitochondrial dna phylogeny indicates close relationships between populations of lutzomyia whitmani (diptera: psychodidae, phlebotominae) from the rain-forest regions of amazônia and northeast brazil.	phylogenetic analysis of all 31 described mitochondrial (cytochrome b) haplotypes of lutzomyia whitmani demonstrated that new material from the state of rondônia, in southwest amazônia, forms a clade within a lineage found only in the rain-forest regions of brazil. this rain-forest lineage also contains two other clades of haplotypes, one from eastern amazônia and one from the atlantic forest zone of northeast brazil (including the type locality of the species in ilhéus, state of bahia). these f ...	1999	10419383
variation between geographical populations of lutzomyia (nyssomyia) whitmani (antunes & coutinho, 1939) sensu lato (diptera:psychodidae:phlebotominae) in brazil.	phylogenetic analysis of morphometric and biological characters indicated that there are two distinct forms of lutzomyia whitmani in brazil: one is present both north and south of the river amazonas in the state of pará while the other occurs in northeast brazil, in the state of ceará, and further south, including the type locality in state of bahia. the amazonian form is reportedly neither strongly anthropophilic nor synanthropic, and it is the vector of leishmania shawi; whereas the southern f ...	1996	8734947
