| description | <i>Triatoma</i> is the most diversified and one of the most important genera from an epidemiological perspective. Given the difficulty in identifying some species of the <i>Triatoma</i> genus, morphological, histological, and morphometric studies were performed to provide new characters that make it possible to differentiate <i>T. garciabesi</i>, <i>T. guasayana</i>, <i>T. patagonica,</i> and <i>T. sordida sensu stricto</i>, triatomines that overlap geographically and have vector potential. Through the external female genitalia, as well as morphology, morphometry, and histology of eggshells, it was possible to discriminate the four species. In addition, this study reinforces the taxonomic validity of <i>T. garciabesi</i> and provides new data for discussion on systematic issues of <i>T. guasayana</i> and <i>T. patagonica</i>. |
