C7230F65FF96FFE9F686B720423FF9F9.taxon	distribution	Distribution. EspÍrito Santo, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná. Public health importance. This is a sylvatic species that inhabits mammal burrows (rodents, marsupials) but refuses to feed on pigeons, chickens, mice, or humans in the laboratory. However, it has been known to be naturally infected by T. cruzi (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). Remarks. In a study conducted by Gurgel-Gonçalves et al. (2012 a), a female of M. borbai was discovered among 2,154 triatomine specimens collected from Mauritia flexuosa L. f. (Arecales: Arecaceae), a type of palm tree, in various locations across Alto Garça, Mato Grosso state, Brazil. The researchers suggested that the presence of M. borbai in M. flexuosa may be linked to the existence of the white-eared opossum, Didelphis albiventris Lund, 1840 (Marsupialia: Didelphidae), within these palm trees. Microtriatoma borbai in the state of EspÍrito Santo, Brazil, was found in a hybrid eucalyptus plantation in Aracruz (Gil-Santana et al. 2021).	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

This species is a sylvatic species associated with armadillos (Dasypodidae) (Dias-Lima et al. 2003), but it is increasingly likely to invade and colonize in peridomiciliar and domiciliar habitats, usually with high infection rates for T. cruzi (Garcia et al. 2005).

Public health importance. This is the first triatomine to be recognized as a vector of Chagas disease (Chagas 1909) and the fourth vector in importance of this disease (WHO 2020). It is striking that some authors of the first half of past century stated that it was an exclusive domestic species (e. g., Brumpt 1936), although it was primarily native from the Brazilian forests, where it is commonly found. It was considered as the main domestic vector in Brazil before 1930 s when it started to be progressively replaced by T. infestans. However, following the success of the control program in the southern cone, T. infestans was eliminated in many areas (Dias and Schofield 1999), and P. megistus initiated a new process of invasion and domiciliation in several states of Brazil. It is currently considered to be the main domestic vector of Chagas disease in the central, eastern, and southeastern regions of Brazil (Patterson et al. 2009, Castro et al. 2018). It feeds on the blood of mammals, including rodents, opossums, and humans (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979, Pires et al. 2002 a). Remarks. The bionomics of this vector is relatively well-studied (Pires et al. 2002 a, 2002 b, 2004).	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

This sylvatic species rarely colonizes the peri- and intradomiciliary habitats, mainly associated with armadillos and bats (Patterson et al. 2009) and some authors believe that its risk of transmission is very limited (Salazar-Schettino et al. 2010). However, in the Andean countries, this triatomine shows a strong tendency to colonize human dwellings and is an important vector (Dujardin et al. 1998 a, Wolff and Castillo 2002, Traviezo-Valles et al. 2008, Patterson et al. 2009). It is also having an increasing potential as a vector, since it was demonstrated a synanthropic tendency, wide distribution and trophic eclecticism in northwestern Peru (Cuba Cuba et al. 2007). Remarks. It has been collected between 50 and 630 meters above sea level (Salazar-Schettino et al. 2010). This species can be attracted by light (Salomon et al. 1999).	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

Public health importance. It has been found naturally infected with T. cruzi (Takeda et al. 1976). Remarks. Panstrongylus tibiamaculatus is a widespread sylvatic species and usually found on bromeliads, near or in the nests of the marsupials (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). The biology of this species in the laboratory has been reported by Rodrigues et al. (2007). Recently, it was transferred from Triatoma to Panstrongylus, based on chromosomal and phylogenetic characteristics by Bittinelli et al. (2023), a fact to be kept in mind when consulting previous literature about this species (formerly, Triatoma tibiamaculata).	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

It is sylvatic, and adults can be occasionally found in houses, and was found naturally infected with T. cruzi (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). Remarks. This species generally inhabits rupestrian and subterranean ecotopes, like rockpiles semi-buried in humid soil, as well as rodent and reptile burrows (Salvatella 1986, Martins et al. 2006).	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

This species is mainly found in sylvatic environments, and occasionally peridomiciliar habitats. Although the experimental infection by T. cruzi was easily obtained (Forattini et al. 1968) and natural infection has been found (Barretto and Ribeiro 1981), this triatomine is not important as vectors to human (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). Remarks. This species could be misidentified as T. wygodzinskyi in Brazil, because of the morphological similarity between them (Carbajal-de-la-Fuente et al. 2011). The developmental cycle under the name of T. arthurneivai, reported by Juarez (1970), is attributed for the T. wygodzinskyi as pointed by Carbajal-de-la-Fuente (2010).

Public health importance. This species is the fifth major vector of Chagas disease (WHO 2020). Since the success of T. infestans control in Brazil, T. brasiliensis has been considered currently the most important vector of Chagas disease in the semiarid areas of northeastern Brazil (Costa et al. 2013, 2014). Remarks. The status of subspecies and species of the T. brasiliensis complex was disputed for many years (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979, Costa et al. 2013). Some multidisciplinary studies, such as morphology (Costa et al. 1997 a, 2009), biolo - gy (Costa and Marchon-Silva 1998), ecology (Costa et al. 1998, 2002, 2014, Valença-Barbosa et al. 2014), breeding and genetics (Costa et al. 2003, Alevi et al. 2014), and molecular biology (Costa et al. 1997 b, Monteiro et al. 2004, Harry et al. 2009), were carried out on this species searching to confirm the existence of a species complex including two subspecies: T. b. brasiliensis and T. b. macromelasoma (Costa et al. 2013).	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

Public health importance. This species was the most important vector and the primary vector of T. cruzi to humans in South America, as it easily colonizes the domiciliary habitat (Pereira et al. 2006). For about half of all Chagas disease cases, T. infestans was the responsible vector (Bargues et al. 2006). Since 1960 s some regular national and regional programmes, especially against Chagas disease have been conducted in Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, and Uruguay. Especially the regional program of the Southern Cone countries initiated in 1991 has led to the interruption of vector-borne transmissions to humans in Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and parts of Argentina and greatly reduced populations in many Latin American countries (Schofield et al. 2006, Dias 2007), but the wild population of this species is still a risk for the disease return (Noireau et al. 1995, Buitrago et al. 2010, 2013, Ceballos et al. 2011, Brenière et al. 2013). Remarks. The melanic form found in peridomiciliar environments in Misiones has been considered a subspecies of T. infestans and later raised to species rank as Triatoma melanosoma (MartÍnez et al. 1987, Lent et al. 1994). Studies using several methods confirmed that T. melanosoma was a chromatic variant of T. infestans (Noireau et al. 2000, Monteiro et al. 1999, Gumiel et al. 2003, Bargues et al. 2006, Ceballos et al. 2011). This vector is well studied, and hundreds of papers have been published about many aspects of this species especially using molecular methods (Monteiro et al. 1999, Bargues et al. 2006, Ceballos et al. 2011, Torres-Pérez et al. 2011, Rosas et al. 2011, Brenière et al. 2013). The eggs of this triatomine can be parasited by Aprostocetus asthenogmus (Waterston, 1915) (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae, Tetrastichinae) under laboratory conditions (Santos et al. 2014). It has been more than eight years since cases of reinfestation have not been found in the areas of Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul.	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

It can be found in the nests of furnariid bird (Salvatella et al. 1991, Turienzo and Di Iorio 2014, Marti et al. 2014) and occasionally in peridomestic habitats, such as in hens’ coop. The natural infection of T. platensis by T. cruzi was reported (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979, Marti et al. 2014). Remarks. This species is closely related to T. delpontei, T. rubrovaria, and T. infestans. It can be fertile with T. delpontei and occasionally natural hybrids of T. infestans x T. platensis were found in places of their occurrence (Abalos 1948, Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979, Ronderos et al. 1980). Crocco et al.

Public health importance. This species has been collect- ed in the bird nests, hollow trees and under bark; frequently found in peridomiciliar environments in the semi-arid (“ caatinga ”) environments (Carcavallo et al. 1999) and it is able to feed on cockroaches (Freitas et al. 2005, Pontes et al. 2011). It has been found naturally infected by T. cruzi, but this species occurs in low numbers and was not considered an important vector of Chagas disease before 1980 s (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). However, this species is in the process of domiciliation (De Assis et al. 2007) and it can present a high natural T. cruzi infection rate (Sarquis et al. 2004). One case of T. cruzi transmission by this species to a woman was reported in Ceará State (Diotaiuti 2009). So, this species is becoming more important as a vector at recent years. Remarks. This species is morphologically very similar to T. maculata, both being regarded as the same species until 1964 (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). Belisário et al. (2007) showed no differences in reproduction patterns, and they are able to cross, generating infertile hybrids. However, in the same year, Santos et al. (2007) performed an enzymatic, morphometric and cytogenetic comparison of them and stat- ed that both species belong to distinct evolutionary lineages.	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

Public health importance. Triatoma rubrofasciata has been recorded in a wide range of peridomiciliary and domiciliary habitats, such as houses, livestock pens, woodpiles, and under lights, especially in association with rats. Although natural infection with T. cruzi has been reported in many cases (Lucena and Magalhães Netto 1939, Dias and Neves 1943), and it has been known to colonize human habitations in many parts of the world, it is not commonly an active vector of Chagas disease (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). However, it is usually the vector of T. conorhini (Donovan, 1909) that infects Rattus rattus since this triatomine is in close association with rats (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). It is not highly anthropophilic, but bites by this species can cause dermatitis and anaphylactic shock (Arnold and Bell 1944, Wang and Peng 2006). Remarks. This species is the type species of the genus Triatoma and the only known triatomine with a cosmopolitan distribution. The biology of this species has been studied under laboratory conditions (Braga et al. 1998, Cortéz and Gonçalves 1998, Braga and Lima 1999).	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

This species can be experimentally crossed with T. lenti, but the extremely reduced fertility observed in the F 2 hybrids confirmed the specific status of the species (Mendonça et al. 2014). Correia et al. (2013) also reported that T. sherlocki male × T. lenti female pairs failed to produce hybrids, however all other crosses of T. sherlocki and tested members of T. brasiliensis species complex (T. brasiliensis, T. melanica, and T. juazeirensis), as well as backcrosses, produced viable offspring through the third generation.	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.

Triatoma vitticeps is a sylvatic species associated with rodent and opossum (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979) and can be found frequently in peridomiciliar and occasionally in domiciliar environments. Although it has high rate of natural infection with T. cruzi (Dias et al. 1989, Santos et al. 2006) and it is in the domiciliation process (Moreira and Spata 2002), this species has low vector potential, due principally to the relatively long interval between feeding and defecation (Santos et al. 2006). It has been of secondary importance in T. cruzi transmission to man (Dias et al. 1989, Santos et al. 2005). Remarks.

It is a rupicolous species without epidemiological importance (Carbajal-de-la-Fuente et al. 2010). Remarks. This species is morphologically very similar to T. arthurneivai, and the identification of the latter species has led to confusion with T. wygodzinskyi in Brazil (Carbajal-de-la-Fuente et al. 2011). The biology of T. wygodzinskyi has been reported by Carbajal-de-la-Fuente et al. (2010). Due to the mentioned misidentification, the developmental cycle previously attributed to the name T. arthurneivai, as reported by Juarez (1970), must be, in fact, considered as that of T. wygodzinskyi, as pointed out by Carbajal-de-la-Fuente (2010).	en	Galvão, Cleber, Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader de (2024): The taxonomic catalog of the Brazilian fauna: biodiversity and geographical distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Brazil.
