This paper reports, for the first time, the presence of the Eratyrus mucronatus species in the State of Rondonia, Brazil.
These specimens were caught by chance in the forest and later they were collected using luminous traps.
After finding these specimens, the number of the Triatominae genera in Rondonia rose to four, while its species rose to seven.
Complimentary studies will be conducted in order to allow for clearer understanding the ecology of this arthropod, its possible role in transmitting Chagas' disease and its current geographical distribution.
本文首次报道了在巴西朗多尼亚州发现了尖音库蚊(Eratyrus mucronatus)物种。
这些标本是在森林中偶然捕获的,后来使用了发光陷阱收集。
发现这些标本后,朗多尼亚州的三锥虫属种类增加到四个,而其物种增加到七个。
将进行补充研究,以便更清楚地了解这种节肢动物的生态、它在传播恰加斯病中的可能作用以及其当前的地理分布。
