Public health importance. It is a sylvatic species often associated with palm tree Leopoldina piassaba . However, as it has an attacking behavior and was found naturally infected with T. cruzi , this triatomine has been considered as a vector of Chagas disease ( Coura et al. 1994, Freitas et al. 2012).
Remarks. The colour patterns of the pronotum is variable, especially the medial pronotal band ( Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979, Freitas et al. 2012).
