“…The genus Belminus was first described by Stål (1859) based on a single species from Colombia ( Belminus rugulosus ). The genus currently comprises eight species: Belminus corredori (Galvão & Angulo 2006); Belminus costaricensis (Herrer, Lent & Wygodzinsky 1954); Belminus ferroae (Sandoval, Pabón, Jurberg & Galvão 2007); Belminus herreri (Lent & Wygodzinsky 1979); Belminus laportei (Lent, Jurberg & Carcavallo 1995); Belminus peruvianus (Herrer, Lent & Wygodzinsky 1954); Belminus pittieri (Osuna & Ayala 1993), and B. rugulosus (Stål 1859). All of these apparently have focal distribution in parts of Central America, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and northern Brazil (Sandoval et al , 2007; Schofield & Galvão, 2009).…”

Belminus ferroae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) was collected from houses in the localities of San Alberto and Santa Catalina in the municipality of Toledo, Department of Norte de Santander, Colombia. Precipitin tests revealed that the main hosts of B. ferroae are insects belonging to the order Blattodea, whose haemolymph serves as food (89.43%). A low rate of haematophagy was indicated on rodents, dogs and humans (7.32%) and no natural infection with Trypanosoma cruzi was found by either microscopic examination or polymerase chain reaction. The finding of B. ferroae inside houses, feeding primarily on Blattodea with only a minor tendency to feed on vertebrate blood, is indicative of both the evolutionary path from predator to blood-sucker taken by Triatominae and their tendency to adapt from silvatic to domestic habitats.

“…Schofield (1994) lists 118 species of Triatominae, to which should now be added Belminus laportei (Lent et al 1995), Rhodnius stali (Lent et al 1993), Triatoma melanosoma (Lent et al 1994), and T. gomeznunezi (Martínez et al 1994).…”
