Triatominae, the only blood-sucking subfamily in Reduviidae, are the vectors of Chagas disease. The majority of them are distributed in the Americas, while the diversity in China has been underestimated, as only two species have been recorded. Here, we describe two new species from China, Zhao & Cai sp. nov. and . Zhao & Cai sp. nov., and provide a redescription of Hsiao, 1965, along with remarks on (De Geer, 1773). To facilitate the identification, we include photos, especially of genitalia, as well as a distribution map and a key to Chinese triatomines. We calculated the pairwise genetic distances between 23 species, which further supported the validity of these new species. We anticipate that our taxonomic review will be useful for identifying Chinese Triatominae.
锥蝽亚科是猎蝽科中唯一吸血的亚科,是恰加斯病的传播媒介。它们大多分布在美洲,而中国的物种多样性一直被低估,因为仅记录到两个物种。在此,我们描述了来自中国的两个新物种,即赵氏蔡氏锥蝽新种和赵氏蔡氏锥蝽新种,并重新描述了1965年的萧氏锥蝽,同时对(德吉尔,1773年)的物种进行了评论。为便于鉴定,我们提供了照片,尤其是生殖器的照片,以及分布图和中国锥蝽检索表。我们计算了23个物种之间的成对遗传距离,进一步支持了这些新物种的有效性。我们预计我们的分类学综述将有助于鉴定中国的锥蝽亚科昆虫。
