Amazonian phlebotomine sand fly fauna is one of the most diverse in the world. The Amazon region is also the most prevalent for leishmaniasis in Brazil and South America. The state of Acre, in this region, also stands out in terms of the diversity of sand fly fauna, as well as the occurrence of American tegumentary leishmaniasis. In this context, the present dataset comprises a bibliographic review of sand fly species recorded in Acre state, Brazil. A total of 1,094 observations from material citations and two of preserved specimens are presented using 33 variables according to Darwin Core terms. The bibliographic review was performed in PubMed, Google Scholar, SciELO, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, and references cited in related scientific articles. Thus, this report will be valuable for further studies on sand flies in Acre and other Amazon states.
