Resumen:
The sand fly fauna in Hipólito Yrigoyen, Argentina, a locality where cutaneous leishmaniasis(CL) cases occur, was surveyed with zones of higher abundance of sand flies correlated vegetation cover estimated through Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI). Sand flies were collected with 10 CDC traps during 6 nights, from December 2009 to January 2010. A map was built of expected sand flies abundance in which levels of NDVI were categorized. A total of 1,392 Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) specimens were collected, comprised mainly of the following species: Nyssomyia neivai (Pinto 1926), Mygonemyia migonei(França 1920), species of the cortelezzii complex (Brèthes 1923), Evandromyia sallesi (Galvão & Coutinho 1940) and Psathyromyia shannoni (Dyar 1929). Positive correlations were found between the abundance of sand flies and the NDVI (p
