Biological collections are depositories of information on different species and contribute to the knowledge, protection, conservation and maintenance of biodiversity.
A list of triatomine species currently included in the Collection of Chagas Disease Vectors (FIOCRUZ-COLVEC) was prepared from the database made available by the Reference Center on Environmental Information.
COLVEC curatorship houses 4,778 specimens of triatomines, of which 811 come from other American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, the United States of America, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela) and 3,967 are autochthonous from Brazil. Altogether, 56 species of Chagas disease vectors are represented in the COLVEC: two species of the Tribe Cavernicolini Usinger, 1944; fifteen species of the tribe Rhodniini Pinto, 1926, of which 12 are of the genus Rhodnius and 3 are of the genus Psamolestes; and 39 species of the tribe Triatomini Jeannel, 1919, represented by the genus Dipetalogaster, two species of the genus Eratyrus, two of the genus Meccus, seven of the genus Panstrongylus and 27 of the genus Triatoma.
This list provides important data on the diversity of triatomines currently included in COLVEC, including the expanded area of Panstrongylus lutzi occurrence in the municipalities Pirapora and Januária, State of Minas Gerais. The maintenance and expansion of the collection ensures the preservation of biodiversity and further studies.
生物标本馆是不同物种信息的储存库，有助于生物多样性的知识积累、保护、养护和维持。
根据环境信息参考中心提供的数据库，编制了目前纳入恰加斯病病媒收藏库（FIOCRUZ - COLVEC）的锥蝽物种清单。
COLVEC保管着4778份锥蝽标本，其中811份来自其他美洲国家（阿根廷、玻利维亚、哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、美国、危地马拉、墨西哥、秘鲁、乌拉圭和委内瑞拉），3967份是巴西本土的。COLVEC中总共代表了56种恰加斯病病媒：1944年Usinger的洞穴锥蝽族有两种；1926年Pinto的红带锥蝽族有15种，其中12种属于红带锥蝽属，3种属于沙锥蝽属；1919年Jeannel的锥蝽族有39种，由双瓣锥蝽属代表，埃拉锥蝽属有两种，麦库锥蝽属有两种，潘斯锥蝽属有7种，锥蝽属有27种。
这份清单提供了关于目前纳入COLVEC的锥蝽多样性的重要数据，包括潘氏锥蝽在米纳斯吉拉斯州皮拉波拉和雅努ária市分布范围扩大的情况。收藏库的维护和扩充确保了生物多样性的保护以及进一步的研究。
