Triatomines are hematophagous insects of great epidemiological importance, as they act as vectors for the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Currently, there are 154 species described in the subfamily Triatominae, grouped into 19 genera and five tribes. Several cases of natural and/or experimental hybridization were observed among the insect vectors of C…
Based on morphological data and geographic disposition, triatomines were grouped into eight specific subcomplexes, namely dimidiata, phylosoma, brasiliensis, infestans, maculata, matrogrossensis, rubrovaria and sordida. However, with the availability of genetic data of the species, several subcomplexes were regrouped. Triatoma melanocephala Neiva & Pinto, 1923 and T. vitticeps (Stål, 1859…
