Abstract
in English, Portuguese

The Coleção de Flebotomíneos ("Phlebotomine Collection"; FIOCRUZ/COLFLEB) held at Fiocruz Minas is a curated biological collection comprising approximately 80 000 individual specimens of 370 species of sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae, Phlebotominae). These were mostly collected from the Americas in the last 80 years by entomologists interested in understanding and controlling the vector-borne disease leishmaniases. Since 2010, the metadata of each biological specimen held in FIOCRUZ/COLFLEB, including the back catalogue of those deposited in previous decades, has been digitized. Here, we present the resulting electronic catalog containing records for 72,624 of the specimens, including all of the available provenance information associated with each specimen. The catalog is published online through the speciesLink network and the Sistema de Informação sobre a Biodiversidade Brasileira (SiBBr).

A Coleção de Flebotomíneos (“Coleção de Flebotomíneos”; FIOCRUZ/COLFLEB) da Fiocruz Minas é uma coleção biológica composta por aproximadamente 80.000 exemplares representando 370 espécies de flebotomíneos (Diptera: Psychodidae, Phlebotominae). Estes insetos foram coletados principalmente nas Américas nos últimos 80 anos por entomologistas interessados em entender e contribuir com conhecimento para o controle das leishmanioses, doenças causadas por protozoários transmitidos por vetores. Desde 2010, os metadados de cada espécime mantido na FIOCRUZ/COLFLEB, incluindo os dados retroativos daqueles depositados em décadas anteriores, estão sendo digitalizados. Aqui, apresentamos o catálogo eletrônico resultante contendo registros para 72.624 exemplares, incluindo todas as informações associadas disponíveis para cada espécime. O catálogo é publicado online por meio da rede speciesLink e do Sistema de Informação sobre a Biodiversidade Brasileira (SiBBr).
