The phlebotomine sand fly Pintomyia monticola (Costa Lima, 1932) is recorded for the first time in Brasilia, central-west Brazil. A review of the geographical distribution of the species in South America is presented, and its distribution is extended. The potential geographical distribution of P. monticola is predicted based on ecological niche modeling. Ecological aspects of this species are discussed.
