Evandromyia chacuensis is a species of sand fly first circumscribed in 2018 from specimens collected in Argentina.[1] It is the 12th species currently described in the subgenus Barrettomyia.[2]
The males and females are both about 2-3mm in length, medium in size when compared to other phlebotomines, and light brown in general color.[1]

The type specimens were collected in three municipalities of Argentina's Chaco province: Misión Nueva Pompeya in the Dry Chaco ecoregion in the north of the province, and Colonia Benítez and Resistencia in the Humid Chaco ecoregion in the south of the province.[1]
