Massive invasion on a Triatominae insectarium (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) by Attagenus fasciatus (Thunberg, 1795) (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Attageninae) [PDF]
Background: Triatominae are vectors of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. This study aims to report an infestation on Triatominae colonies by a beetle, previously identified as a pest.

Geometric morphometry of the Rhodniusprolixus complex (Hemiptera, Triatominae): patterns of intraspecific and interspecific allometry and their taxonomic implications. [PDF]
Abstract In the subfamily Triatominae, the genus Rhodnius is one of the most studied, not only because of its epidemiological importance, but also because of the difficulty in differentiating its species.

Trapping Triatominae Bugs Using Mice-Baited Traps along the Peninsula of Baja California, Mexico. [PDF]
During an exploratory fieldtrip along the peninsula of Baja California, Mexico, we used mice-baited traps in search of Triatominae, the vectors of Chagas disease.

Biosystematics and evolution of the Triatominae [PDF]
In this paper we summarize the systematics of the 130 currently recognized species of Triatominae and the key features of their evolutionary background. There is increasing evidence that the subfamily has polyphyletic origins, with the various tribes and species groups probably arising from different reduviid lineages in relatively recent times.
