“…Essa espécie é encontrada em palmeiras das espécies Orbignya phalerata (babaçu) (GALVÃO, GURGEL-GONÇALVES, 2014) e Attalea butyracea (Jaci ou coquinho da mata) (MADEIRA et al, 2020). Meneguetti et al (2015) já relataram invasão desta espécie em residências no Acre, possivelmente atraídas pela luz.…”

The Rhodniini tribe is composed of the genera Rhodnius and Psammolestes. From phylogenetic data, Rhodnius spp. were grouped into three large groups (pallescens, pictipes and prolixus). This genus is considered paraphyletic, since species in the prolixus group are evolutionarily closer to Psammolestes spp. than of the Rhodnius groups. Based on the above, we present a chronological mini-review related to the main phylogenetic and molecular taxonomy studies carried out in the genus Rhodnius. From the data presented, it is clear that: i. the Rhodniini tribe is a monophyletic group; ii. there are three well-defined monophyletic groups in the tribe Rhodniini (prolixus, pictipes and pallescens); iii. the evolutionary relationship between these groups needs to be better defined by phylogenetic studies combining different markers and, above all, increasing intra and interspecific sampling of the genus Rhodnius (with emphasis on species that have never been studied molecularly); iv. the genus Rhodnius is a paraphyletic group in relation to Psammolestes; v. the specific status of some Rhodnius species (such as R. milesi and R. zeledoni) needs to be assessed by integrative taxonomy; vi. paraphyletic lineages of R. robustus need to be described as new species; viii. the strains of R. ecuadoriensis and R. pallescens, as well as Rhodnius aff. R. pictipes from Sierra Nevada, Colombia needs to be studied by integrative taxonomy and described as new species; and, finally, viii. phylogenetic systematics is essential for the taxonomy of Rhodnius.

“…R. montenegrensis specimens collected from palm trees and residences revealed their ability to adapt to the human environment, dispersal, and mobility 17 . Studies conducted in Acre, Amazonas, and Rondônia demonstrate the predominance of this species in its natural ecotope, and intrusion into residences and the infection rate for T. cruzi in this species are significant in the localities where they were captured [9][10][11]17 . Another aspect described in these studies is the non-occurrence of domiciliation of R. montenegrensis 10,17 .…”

Background:The subfamily Triatominae, which comprises 157 species, carries the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. This short communication reports for the first time the occurrence of Rhodnius montenegrensis in Bolivia. Methods:Active searches were carried out on palm trees of the genus Oenocarpus in Beni district, Bolivia.Results: Fifteen R. montenegrensis specimens were collected from a rural area of the Beni district, Bolivia, and tested positive for T. cruzi. Conclusions:This new report expands the geographic distribution of the species in Latin America. Due to their ability to transmit trypanosomatids, the species deserves the attention of vector control programs.

“…Several species of triatomines have recently been reported in Brazilian states: Rhodnius montenegrensis (Rosa et al, 2012) in Amazonas 24 ; T. sordida and Rhodnius neglectus (Lent, 1954); Rhodnius stali (Lent, Jurberg, and Galvão, 1993); R. montenegrensis, P. megistus, and Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus (Champion, 1899); Panstrongylus lignarius (Walker, 1873) in Acre [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] ; P. lignarius and P. megistus in Rondonia 29,32 ; and, now, T. infestans in Espírito Santo. These ento-epidemiological surveys are of great importance for public health because the knowledge of fauna (local, regional, municipal, and/or state) of triatomines directly assists in the activities of vector control programs.…”

Chagas disease is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted, mainly, by hematophagous insects of the Triatominae subfamily. In Brazil, there are currently about 66 triatomine species distributed throughout the country’s 27 states. Triatoma infestans is considered as a species of great vectorial importance, mainly because of its biological characteristics, such as the high degree of anthropophilia, adaptation to the home environment, ability to withstand long periods of fasting, and present a wide geographical distribution. Taking into account the epidemiological importance of these species, we carried out the first report of T. infestans in the Espírito Santo, Brazil, and development of an identification key for all species notified in that state, based on cytogenetic data. This information is important because they contribute to the direction of epidemiological surveillance activities carried out by vector control programs of the Espírito Santo, Brazil.
