Abstract: In seven studied communities of Western Mexico, triatomine specimens were sympatrically collected, some with atypical morphological characteristics in contrast to pure specimens, which were presumed to be hybrids.

“…p. picturatus), and M. longipennis (=M. p. longipennis) (15,20,36). All these hybrids, in addition to their higher potential efficacy in transmitting T. cruzi to reservoir hosts than their parental lineages, may frequently colonize areas unfavorable to the parental cohort, widening the range of environmental parameters that the lineage can tolerate (36).…”

“…However, 37 years later, Lent and Wygodzinsky (13) reinstated their status as bona fide species, based entirely on morphological characters. The debate continued, and recent biological, morphological, and molecular evidence (3,4,9,(14)(15)(16) lead to them being considered subspecies again, based on the concept that`s ubspecies are local populations that are recognizably different from each other but they are nevertheless considered to belong to the same species because they are observed to interbreed in nature or because it is inferred that they are likely to interbreed'' (17). Consequently, M. mazzottii, M. pallidipennis, and M. phyllosomus will be considered subspecies of M. phyllosomus during this study.…”

“…They also helped in distinguishing Rhodnius prolixus and Rhodnius robustus, the main vectors of Chagas disease in Venezuela, Colombia and some other regions of central America (Galíndez-Giron et al, 1994). As mentioned previously, crosses were important in clarifying taxonomy in the Infestans complex (Abalos, 1948;Franca, 1985;Monteiro et al, 1999), and more recently, the Phyllosoma complex (Martinez-Ibarra et al, 2009;Martinez-Hernandez et al, 2010).…”

“…Similarly, revisions are underway in the Phyllosoma complex, which includes important vectors species in Mexico, all of which are interfertile, so also suspected of incorrect species-level designations (Martinez-Ibarra et al, 2009;Martinez-Hernandez et al, 2010).…”

“…A discussion regarding the proper taxonomic assignment of these species of the genus Meccus (species or subspecies) has been ongoing for a number of years (Mazzotti & Osorio 1942, Lent & Wygodzinsky 1979. Biological and molecular studies on typical specimens (Mazzotti & Osorio 1942, Bargues et al 2008, Martínez-Ibarra et al 2008b) and on the naturally crossbred descendents of different individuals from sympatric populations (M. pallidipennis, M. longipennis and M. picturatus) (Martínez-Ibarra et al 2009) have lead to a proposal to reclassify some (M. pallidipennis, M. longipennis and M. picturatus) (Marcilla et al 2001, Martínez-Ibarra et al 2008b or all (Bargues et al 2008 of the six species of the genus Meccus to subspecies of M. phyllosomus. Other molecular and biological studies support the consideration of these groups as full species (Sainz et al 2004, Pfeiler et al 2006, Martínez-Ibarra et al 2008b).…”
