Abstract: Belminus santosmalletae, a new triatomine species, is described based on a specimen from Panama, deposited in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA. Attempts failed to identify this specimen using the keys by Lent and Wygodzinsky (1979) and Sandoval et al. (2007).

“…There are currently 157 species (154 extant species and three fossils), grouped into 18 genera and five tribes (Table 1) [3][4][5][6][7], being all potential vectors of T. cruzi. Taxonomic studies of Triatominae started in the 18th century with the description of Triatoma rubrofasciata (De Geer, 1773) (as Cimex rubro-fasciatus) [8].…”
