“…Mexico is another example, with records of Triatoma rubida sonoriana being a new inclusion for all habitat types (domicile, peridomicile and sylvatic) [24]; new records of Triatoma barberi (Usinger, 1939) for Mexico state [25], as well as records of Triatoma rubida for Ocampo municipality and records of Triatoma gerstaeckeri (Stål, 1859) [26]. Records of some species were also updated in new Psammolestes tertius (Lent & Jurberg, 1965) in the states of Sergipe [30], Paraná [31] and Rio Grande do Norte [32] in Brazil, and of Cavernicola pilosa and Microtriatoma trinidadensis in Amazonas, Brazil [33,34].…”

“…Records of some species were also updated in new states of Brazil, such as Eratyrus mucronatus (Stål, 1859) and Rhodnius montenegrensis (Rosa, Rocha, Gardim, Pinto, Mendonça, Ferreira Filho, Carvalho, Camargo, Oliveira, Nascimento, Cilense, Almeida, 2012) in Roraima [ 27 ] , as well as the presence of R. montenegrensis in the state of Amazonas [ 28 ] . On the other hand, new occurrences of Microtriatoma borbai (Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1979) were found in Espírito Santo [ 29 ] , Psammolestes tertius (Lent & Jurberg, 1965) in the states of Sergipe [ 30 ] , Paraná [ 31 ] and Rio Grande do Norte [ 32 ] in Brazil, and of Cavernicola pilosa and Microtriatoma trinidadensis in Amazonas, Brazil [ 33 , 34 ] . …”

The causative agent of Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi) is transmitted to mammals, including humans, mainly by insect vectors of the subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). Also known as “kissing bugs”, the subfamily currently includes 157 validated species (154 extant and three extinct), in 18 genera and five tribes. Here, we present a subdataset (7852 records) of American triatomine occurrences; an update to the most complete and integrated database available to date at a continental scale. New georeferenced records were obtained from a systematic review of published literature and colleague-provided data. New data correspond to 101 species and 14 genera from 22 American countries between 1935 and 2022. The most important novelties refer to (i) the inclusion of new species, (ii) synonymies and formal transferals of species, and (iii) temporal and geographical species records updates. These data will be a useful contribution to entomological surveillance implicated in Chagas disease.

Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected illness affecting approximately seven million individuals, with vector transmission occurring via triatomine bugs. The Rhodniini tribe comprises 24 species, grouped into the Rhodnius and Psammolestes genera. Given the importance of accurately identifying CD vectors, the taxonomy of Psammolestes spp. was revisited using morphological and morphometric data. Specimens of P. tertius, P. coreodes, and P. arthuri were collected, and the morphological characteristics of the head, thorax, abdomen, and eggs were analyzed. Morphometric studies of eggs were also conducted. Dichotomous keys allowing for the differentiation of Psammolestes spp. were elaborated based on adult insect and egg morphological characteristics. Through these studies, it was possible to differentiate the three Psammolestes species and confirm that this genus should not be classified under the Rhodnius genus, contributing to Rhodniini taxonomy.
