Distribution. Bahia, ParaÍba, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte and Sergipe.
Public health importance. Triatoma melanocephala is a sylvatic triatomine, usually found amongst bromeliads; occasionally found in houses ( Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979, Sherlock and Guitton 1980). Although it is known to be infected by Trypanosoma cruzi it has no epidemiological importance as the species is rare in number.
Remarks. It takes about 350 days to develop from egg to adult in the laboratory ( Sherlock and Guitton 1980).
