No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-09-07; Triatoma sordida is an endemic Chagas disease vector in South America, distributed in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Chromosomal, molecular, isoenzymatic, and cuticular hydrocarbon pattern studies indicate cryptic speciation in T. sordida. Recently, T. rosai was described from specimens from Ar...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-12-01; Universidad del Rosario; Background: The evolutionary history of biodiversity in South America has been poorly studied in the seasonal dry tropical forest (SDTF). Species diversification in this ecosystem may have a twofold explanation. First, intermittent connections in the middle and late Pleistocene ...

In addition to Brazil, this species has already been reported in Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It is hypothesized that the insects currently identified as T. sordida are a species subcomplex formed by three cy...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-12-01; Background: Meccus' taxonomy has been quite complex since the first species of this genus was described by Burmeister in 1835 as Conorhinus phyllosoma. In 1859 the species was transferred to the genus Meccus and in 1930 to Triatoma. However, in the twentieth century, the Meccus genus was revalidated (al...

These cryptic species of triatomines are grouped in the subcomplex brasiliensis due only to morphological characters and geographical distribution. Cytogenetic studies are important to the classifcation of insects and can assis...
