Deciphering morphology in Triatominae: The evolutionary signals
Acta Tropica, 2009 Many species of Triatominae show evidence for morphological plasticity. Frequent taxonomic questions arose from this variability leading to disputes about describing new subspecies, species or even genera. We suggest this phenotypic flexibility is primarily an intraspecific feature, but with potential for evolutionary changes.

Massive invasion on a Triatominae insectarium (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) by Attagenus fasciatus (Thunberg, 1795) (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Attageninae) [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2023 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]
ZookeysAbstract 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.
