“…the stridulation may act as a mechanism for repelling potential predators (leston, 1957), defensive behaviour or recognition between sex, for example in R. prolixus can indicated female reject males or defensive. the meaning keeps a relationship with the intensity and frequency of stridulatory sound, and this with inter-ridge distances on stridulatory grooves (manrique & Schilman, 2000;Schilman et al, 2001). the present study is the first record of audible sound in Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus Champion, 1899. of the buildings at the study site, and was kept alive in the laboratory for several days.…”

“…Although all triatominae have a stridulatory organ, it seems that in the majority of species the sound has never been percieved by human ear (mazzotti, 1970 (Schilman et al, 2001), Panstrongylus megistus Burmeister, 1835; (Schofield, 1977) and Rhodnius prolixus Stal, 1859 (manrique & Schilman, 2000;Schilman et al, 2001) have been described when disturbed or handled.…”

“…40% for T. infestans. Stridulation in triatomines has been considered by several authors, either as a sexually related behaviour or as a defense response (Moore 1961, Manrique & Lazzari 1994, Roces & Manrique 1996, Manrique & Schilman 2000, Schilman et al 2001). According to Manrique and Lazzari (1994), non-receptive T. infestans females stridulate spontaneously, in order to reject the male copulatory attempts.…”

“…Another complementary study should be of the possible warning of triatomine (and other reduviid) stridulations. Schilman et al (2001) make the fascinating suggestion that the apparently species-nonspecific stridulations of triatomines function as a kind of auditory aposematicism, warning possible predators that the bugs with their isobutyric acid are distasteful. This view of triatomine stridulation is indirectly supported by the fact that in Triatoma infestans (Klug) (Roces & Manrique 1996) (Fig.…”

Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae): Questões Sistemáticas e Algumas Outras RESUMO -Os vetores da doença de Chagas são classificados como membros dos reduviídeos da subfamília Triatominae. Entretanto, essa classificação tem sido referida como incorreta por alguns autores, que consideram que alguns (ou todos?) os grupos de Triatominae têm diferentes ancestrais não-triatomíneos. Neste artigo essa questão é discutida amplamente e outras questões relacionadas ao tema são também levantadas, em particular a posição sistemática de Linshcosteus, o único gênero de Triatominae que ocorre fora do Novo Mundo (na Índia). Outro exemplo é o fato de diversas espécies e populações terem derivado da espécie tropical Triatoma rubrofasciata (De Geer). A resposta a essas questões -se os triatomíneos têm mais de um ancestral não-triatomíneo e, portanto, seriam filogeneticamente distantes -não tem apenas interesse acadêmico. É impossível generalizar para todos os grupos o que é conhecido apenas para um grupo, e isso pode prevenir o controle desses vetores de doenças. Portanto, é literalmente vital determinar se Triatominae é um grupo holofilético e, se não, quais grupos classificados como triatomíneos são relacionados entre si. Essa determinação poderá ser feita através da análise cladística dos generos atualmente incluídos em Triatominae. Alguns comentários sobre cladística são apresentados em um Apêndice. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Doença de Chagas, Trypanosoma cruzi, Rhodnius, Linshcosteus, cladística ABSTRACT -The Neotropical Chagas' disease vectors are classified as members of the reduviid subfamily Triatominae. However, this classification has been suggested to be incorrect, and the suggestion has been treated as fact by some authors; the suggestion is that some (all?) groups in Triatominae had different nontriatomine reduviid ancestors. In this article I raise this question explicitly and ask other questions ancillary to it. I do not answer these questions. Of particular interest is the systematic position of Linshcosteus, the only genus of Triatominae all of whose species occur outside the New World (in India). Related to this question is that of the origin(s) of the several species and populations probably derived from the tropicopolitan Triatoma rubrofasciata (De Geer). Answering these questions is of more than academic interest, for if triatomines had more than one nontriatomine ancestor, and therefore are not phylogenetically close, it is impossible to generalize what is known about one group to others, and this inability may hinder control of these disease vectors. It is therefore vital (literally!) to determine if Triatominae is a holophyletic group and, if not, to determine which groups now classified as triatomines are related to which others. This determination may best be accomplished with a cladistic analysis of the genera now included in Triatominae. Some comments on cladistics are presented in an Appendix.
