A alternativa correta é a letra E) Lutzomyia. O gênero Lutzomyia é conhecido por abrigar todas as espécies de vetores da Leishmania nas Américas. Esses insetos possuem uma cabeça pequena e formato alongado, com a parte frontal voltada para baixo. A boca é do tipo perfurante-sugador e apresenta palpos maxilares com cinco segmentos, que são mais longos que a probóscide. Além disso, é possível diferenciar os machos das fêmeas pela forma do aparelho genital terminal.
