Rhodnius domesticus Neiva & Pinto, 1923 is a rare sylvatic triatomine endemic to the Atlantic Forest, with one known record for Espírito Santo (ES), Brazil from 1969. We present here its rediscovery in ES, 42 years after its first record.
In January 2011, a triatomine specimen was collected from a rural area of the municipality of Santa Teresa, ES.
We confirmed this as a new record of R. domesticus in the Baixo Caldeirão locality.
This finding supports the possibility of a wild population of R. domesticus in the mountainous region of the Atlantic forest of ES.
Rhodnius domesticus Neiva & Pinto, 1923 是一种罕见的林栖三锥虫,仅分布于大西洋森林,巴西仅在 1969 年记录到一起来自圣埃斯皮里图州(ES)的病例。我们在此报告了在其首次记录 42 年后在 ES 的重新发现。
2011 年 1 月,从 ES 圣特雷莎市的一个农村地区采集到一只三锥虫标本。
我们确认这是在 Baixo Caldeirão 地区的 R. domesticus 的新记录。
这一发现支持了 ES 大西洋森林山区可能存在野生 R. domesticus 种群的可能性。
