In the subfamily Triatominae, exhibits the largest number of species, which are arranged in complexes. For the species complex, recent investigations based on results of geometric morphometrics combined with phylogeny have provided evidence that it should be composed of seven species: , , , , and , in which is divided in two subspecies: and . A taxonomic key is presented to identify each taxon. Among members of this complex, is the most important in an epidemiologic context, due to its high prevalence in natural infection by combined with a pronounced adaptation to domiciliary habitats. However, some members may be currently invading and colonizing homes, a process known as domiciliation. Therefore, the key presented here may be potentially useful for researchers as well as those involved in vector control measures.
在锥蝽亚科中,该属拥有数量最多的物种,这些物种被归类为复合种群。对于该复合种群,最近基于几何形态测量学结果并结合系统发育的研究提供了证据,表明它应由七个物种组成: 、 、 、 、 和 ,其中 又分为两个亚种: 和 。本文给出了一个分类检索表以识别每个分类单元。在这个复合种群的成员中, 在流行病学背景下最为重要,因为它在自然感染 方面具有很高的发生率,并且对居家栖息地有明显的适应性。然而,一些成员目前可能正在侵入并定居在家庭中,这一过程被称为定居化。因此,这里给出的检索表可能对研究人员以及参与病媒控制措施的人员具有潜在的用途。
