Fragments of the COI gene were sequenced and integrated into public GenBank data. The species was delimited by means of species delimitation algorithms based on genetic distance (ABGD and ASAP) and phylogenetic gene trees (PTP), making it possible to identify patterns of cryptic diversity. In total, 54 consensus sequences were obtained, representing 23 species. Among these, Lutzomyia gomezi (Nitzulescu, 1931) and Psathyromyia punctigeniculata (Floch &amp; Abonnenc, 1941) represent the first COI barcode sequences for these species in Brazil. BLAST and BOLD analysis coincided with morphological identification in most cases. The species Lu. sherlocki (Martins, Silva &amp; Falc\u00e3o, 1971) showed the greatest intraspecific distance and split into 2 clusters\/MOTUs, suggesting the presence of distinct COI lineages or cryptic diversity. Unique clusters merging individuals of morphologically recognized species were also observed, such as Evandromyia lenti (Mangabeira, 1938)\/Ev. carmelinoi (Ryan, Fraiha, Lainson &amp; Shaw, 1986) and Psychodopygus complexus (Mangabeira, 1941)\/Ps. wellcomei Fraiha, Shaw &amp; Lainson, 1971. In view of these results, the need for further investigations using other molecular markers is evident, in order to expand the taxonomic resolution of these groups. Still, DNA barcoding (COI) proved to be efficient in delimiting most species and detecting possible cryptic species, while substantially expanding the molecular reference database for sand flies from Maranh\u00e3o.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjag145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]],"date-time":"2026-09-14T14:00:58Z","timestamp":1789394458000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Application of COI DNA barcode to identify phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) from Maranh\u00e3o in leishmaniasis-endemic areas, Northeast Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3131-7177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maxcilene da Silva","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Biodiversidade e Biotecnologia da Rede BIONORTE, Universidade Estadual do Maranh\u00e3o (UEMA) , Caxias, Maranh\u00e3o,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7184-0408","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosa Cristina","family":"Ribeiro da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Maranh\u00e3o (UEMA), Programa de Biodiversidade, Ambiente e Sa\u00fade (PPGBAS), Laborat\u00f3rio de Entomologia M\u00e9dica (LABEM), Bolsista do CNPq na modalidade DTI-A , Caxias, Maranh\u00e3o,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0957-1710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno Leite","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Biotecnologia (IBTEC), Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) , Botucatu, S\u00e3o Paulo,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9236-2508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judson Chaves","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Biodiversidade e Biotecnologia da Rede BIONORTE, Universidade Estadual do Maranh\u00e3o (UEMA) , Caxias, Maranh\u00e3o,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0990-2441","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonia Suely","family":"Guimar\u00e3es e Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Maranh\u00e3o (UEMA), Programa de Biodiversidade, Ambiente e Sa\u00fade (PPGBAS), Laborat\u00f3rio de Entomologia M\u00e9dica (LABEM), Bolsista de Desenvolvimento Industrial B-CNPq , Caxias, Maranh\u00e3o,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4652-4884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Val\u00e9ria Cristina Soares","family":"Pinheiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Biodiversidade e Biotecnologia da Rede BIONORTE, Universidade Estadual do Maranh\u00e3o (UEMA) , Caxias, Maranh\u00e3o,","place":["Brazil"]},{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Maranh\u00e3o (UEMA), Programa de Biodiversidade, Ambiente e Sa\u00fade (PPGBAS), Laborat\u00f3rio de Entomologia M\u00e9dica (LABEM) , Caxias, Maranh\u00e3o,","place":["Brazil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026102810361238500_tjag145-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"251","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-75544-1_4","volume-title":"Brazilian sand flies: biology, taxonomy, medical importance and control","author":"Aguiar","year":"2018"},{"key":"2026102810361238500_tjag145-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"711","DOI":"10.1127\/0941-2948\/2013\/0507","article-title":"K\u00f6ppen\u2019s climate \u00adclassification map for Brazil","volume":"22","author":"Alvares","year":"2013","journal-title":"metz"},{"key":"2026102810361238500_tjag145-B3","volume-title":"SIMP\u00d3SIO REGIONAL DE GEOPROCESSAMENTO E SENSORIAMENTO REMOTO, novembro","author":"Batistella","year":"2014"},{"key":"2026102810361238500_tjag145-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.4172\/2161-0983.1000144","article-title":"Sand fly vectors of Leishmania in the americas\u2014a mini review","volume":"4","author":"Brazil","year":"2015","journal-title":"Entomol.
