ABSTRACT
Abstract INTRODUCTION:
Rhodnius domesticus Neiva & Pinto, 1923 is a rare sylvatic triatomine endemic to the Atlantic Forest, with one known record for Espírito Santo (ES), Brazil from 1969. We present here its rediscovery in ES, 42 years after its first record.METHODS:
In January 2011, a triatomine specimen was collected from a rural area of the municipality of Santa Teresa, ES.RESULTS:
We confirmed this as a new record of R. domesticus in the Baixo Caldeirão locality.CONCLUSIONS:
This finding supports the possibility of a wild population of R. domesticus in the mountainous region of the Atlantic forest of ES.Palabras clave
