AB - The taxonomic identification of the Phlebotominae associated with the epidemiological cycle of leishmaniasis is based on morphological characters of the adult insect. Teratologic changes in anatomic structures of taxonomic importance may eventually induce to errors in the species identification. Herein, we described the morphologic anomalies found in three species of the subgenus Micropygomyia Barretto, 1962. Insects were collected by using suction devices in the urban area of Sincelejo, Sucre, Colombia. Five spines were observed in males of Lutzomyia cayennensis cayennensis (Floch y Abonnenc, 1941), Lu. atroclavata (Knab, 1913), and Lu. micropyga (Mangabeira, 1942), and three spines in one male of Lu. cayennensis cayennensis.
