Distribuiçäo geográfica e dispersäo alti-latitudinal de alguns gêneros e espécies da tribo Triatomini Jeannel, 1919 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) / Geographical distribution and alti-latitudinal dispersion of some genera species of the tribe Triatomini Jeannel, 1919 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae)

ABSTRACT

With the currently known distribution of genera and species of the tribe Triatomini Jeannel, 1919, maps and diagrams were prepared, showing the geographical area occupied by the species and their respective dispersion in grades of latitude and altitude. Two general are not treated Panstrongylus Berg, 1879, already published and Triatoma Laporte, 1832, that is being published partially in several articles. Genus Eratyrus Stal, 1859, has two species, while Dipetalogaster Usinger, 1939, Mepraia Mazza, Gajardo & Joerg, 1940, Paratriatoma Barber, 1938 and recently created genus Hermanlentia Jurberg & Galväo, 1997, have only one each. The study of these maps and diagrams permits a better knowledge about some ecological requirements of Chagas's disease vectors and detects gaps in the geographical distribution, where the species were nor found but probably they could be prevalent.
