Insects of Lutzomyia genus have considerable importance in the transmission of diseases such as bartonellosis, arboviruses, and especially visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, both diseases present in the city of Goiás, place chosen to capture insects using CDC traps during twelve months in order to study the existing population of sandflies. Traps were placed throughout the urban area repeatedly for three nights in the last weekend of each month between September 2012 and August 2013. At the same time of trapping insects, relevant eco-epidemiological data were collected. After captures, all sandflies were identified. Were encountered in the city of Goiás eight species, in a total of 370 captured. The species were: Lutzomyia longipalpis, Lutzomyia whitmani, Lutzomyia intermédia, Lutzomyia lenti, Lutzomyia shannoni, Lutzomyia peresi, Lutzomyia baculus and Lutzomyia goiana. The results obtained through analysis by Kruskal -Wallis test and Poisson distribution showed significance for the relationship formed between the amount of gathered sandflies with season and rural area characteristic. Although few sandflies were obtained, the presence of female L. longipalpis was associated with the human and canine visceral leishmaniasis cases.
