Rhodnius stali n. sp., afim de Rhodnius pictipers Stal, 1872 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae)

Epidemiology of Chagas disease in Ecuador. A brief review

“…Defranc 1982). Our studies indicate that R. stali (Lent et al 1993) is not present in the Ecuadorian Amazon region. Reports indicating the presence of R. prolixus in El Oro and Loja, Manabí or Napo/ Orellana are doubtful (Defranc 1982, Cueva & Romero 1987 and probably due to misidentification.…”

Triatominae as a model of morphological plasticity under ecological pressure

“…The recently described Mepraia gajardoi Frias, Henry, Gonzales 1998 and Rhodnius stali (Lent, Jurberg, Galvão 1993) may be similar cases. Both were long included with their sister species: M. gajardoi with M. spinolai and R. stali with R. pictipes, but both show consistent genetic differences with their corresponding sister species, such as reproductive isolation and cytogenetic differences between M. gajardoi and M. spinolai (Frias et al 1998), or relatively large Nei's genetic distances between R. stali and R. pictipes (Chavez et al 1999).…”

Morphological Studies on the Triatoma brasiliensis Neiva, 1911 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) Genital Structures and Eggs of Different Chromatic Forms

“…Similar morphological species have been separated using these structures: Rhodnius stali and R. pictipes (Lent et al 1993); T. maculata and T. pseudomaculata (Galvão 1973). Recently, Jurberg and Galvão (1997) used genital structures to describe a new genus in triatomines.…”
