Abstract
Moth flies of the subfamily Sycoracinae have been associated with anurans. Females of some species have been found feeding on the blood of these vertebrates. Here we describe a new species of the genus Sycorax Curtis from a preserved site of Amazon Forest in the city of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, with one male specimen collected in the dorsum of the frog Anomaloglossus stepheni (Martins).
