Evolutionary relationships based on genetic and phenetic characters between Triatoma maculata, Triatoma pseudomaculata and morphologically related species (Reduviidae: Triatominae).

Abstract excerpt

The maculata group currently comprises two species of Triatominae, Triatoma maculata and Triatoma pseudomaculata, which share morphologic and chromatic characteristics. In order to clarify the systematic status of these two vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi and to infer their evolutionary relationships, we performed an enzymatic, morphometric and cytogenetic comparison of them, also taking into account two sister...
