Nine species of Triatominae, representing three tribes and five genera, are currently
known in Suriname. An annotated list of the species based on the collections of the
Bureau of Public Health (Suriname), the National Zoological Collection Suriname and
the National History Museum Leiden (the Netherlands) is provided. Additionally, the
results of several years of opportunistic collection in two domestic environments are
presented. The most common species are Rhodnius pictipes Stål,
1972, Rhodnius robustus Larrouse, 1972 and Panstrongylus
geniculatus (Latreille, 1811). The significance of the species as vectors
of Chagas disease in Suriname is discussed.
