In this chapter, we review and update current knowledge about the evolution, systematics,
and biogeography of the Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)—true bugs that feed …

Modern methods allow a geometric representation of forms, separating size and shape. In
entomology, as well as in many other fields involving arthropod studies, shape variation has …

We present here a multisource approach that takes advantage of several disciplines to
address a taxonomic issue. A triatomine related to Rhodnius robustus Larrousse, 1927 was …

Triatoma jatai sp. nov. is the first new species of triatomine to be described in the state of
Tocantins, in the northern region of Brazil. It was caught on rock outcrops in the wild …

Geometric morphometrics allows researchers to use the specific software to quantify and to
visualize morphological differences between taxa from insect wings. Our objective was to …

The Rhodnius Pacific group is composed of three species: Rhodnius pallescens, R.
