Fig. 7
Distribution. Alagoas, Bahia, EspÍrito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, São Paulo and Sergipe.
Public health importance. It has been found naturally infected with T. cruzi ( Takeda et al. 1976) .
Remarks. Panstrongylus tibiamaculatus is a widespread sylvatic species and usually found on bromeliads, near or in the nests of the marsupials ( Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979). The biology of this species in the laboratory has been reported by Rodrigues et al. (2007). Recently, it was transferred from Triatoma to Panstrongylus , based on chromosomal and phylogenetic characteristics by Bittinelli et al. (2023), a fact to be kept in mind when consulting previous literature about this species (formerly, Triatoma tibiamaculata ).
