ABSTRACT: Leishmaniasis, classified as neglected diseases, is expandig throughout Brazilian territory and is transmitted by the hemantophagy of sandflies. The municipality of Jataí is classified as silently receptive to sandflies. Therefore, this study determined the species of sandflies present in urban area of Jataí. Collections were made mothly from September 2023 to January 2024 using CDC-type light traps. The screened insects were then sent for taxonomic identification at the René Rachou Research Center, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation . As a result, 15 insects were collected; although, only 46,6% (07) were confirmed as sandflies. After analysis four species were identified: Sciopemyia sordellii, Evandromyia walkeri, Evandromyia carmelinoi, and Nyssomyia intermedia. Our results demonstrated that Jataí has a low number of sandflies, which may had been influenced by precipitation and humidity during the collection periody.
