Collection: Pensoft Publishers

Keywords: Chagas disease vectors · Topics: Trypanosoma species research and implications, Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences, Phytoplasmas and Hemiptera pathogens

Panstrongylus noireaui sp. nov. from Bolivia is described based on male and female specimens. Although morphologically almost indistinguishable from Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus (Champion, 1899), the new species shows remarkable chromosome and molecular features, which are very distinctive among all others Panstrongylus species. The new species is also separated by some characteristics of the processes of the endosoma of the male genitalia. An updated key for species of Panstrongylus is provided.
