Collection: Pensoft Publishers

Keywords: Brazil · Topics: Nematode management and characterization studies, Trypanosoma species research and implications, Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences

A colony was formed from eggs of a Rhodnius sp. female collected in Taquarussu, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and its specimens were used to describe R. taquarussuensis sp. n. This species is similar to R. neglectus, but distinct characters were observed on the head, thorax, abdomen, female external genitalia and male genitalia. Chromosomal differences between the two species were also established.
