We report the first known occurrence of Panstrongylus megistus (Burmeister, 1835) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, Brazil. In 2018, adult specimens were sent by residents to the competent authorities and, in the inspection of the property, a large focus associated with a marsupial nest was found. This finding reinforces the importance of the species in the state of São Paulo, serves as an alert for epidemiological surveillance and extends the species colonization area in the state of São Paulo.
我们报告了巴西圣保罗大都市地区首次发现 Panstrongylus megistus (Burmeister, 1835)（半翅目，红蝽科，三锥虫科）。2018 年，有居民向主管当局寄送了成年标本，在对该房产进行检查时，发现了一个与有袋动物巢穴相关的大型焦点。这一发现加强了该物种在圣保罗州的重要性，为流行病学监测敲响了警钟，并扩大了该物种在圣保罗州的殖民区域。
