“…In this study, it was concluded that R. montenegrensis and R. robustus clade II are in all likelihood the same species [127]. However, the repeatome and proteomic analyses detected high differentiation between R. prolixus, R. montenegrensis, and R. marabaensis, showing they are different species [144,145].…”

The Triatominae subfamily includes 151 extant and three fossil species. Several species can transmit the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, significantly impacting public health in Latin American countries. The Triatominae can be classified into five tribes, of which the Rhodniini is very important because of its large vector capacity and wide geographical distribution. The Rhodniini tribe comprises 23 (without R. taquarussuensis) species and although several studies have addressed their taxonomy using morphological, morphometric, cytogenetic, and molecular techniques, their evolutionary relationships remain unclear, resulting in inconsistencies at the classification level. Conflicting hypotheses have been proposed regarding the origin, diversification, and identification of these species in Latin America, muddying our understanding of their dispersion and current geographic distribution. Clarifying these factors can help for the design of vector control strategies. The aim of this review is to depict the different approaches used for taxonomy of the Rhodniini and to shed light on their evolution and biogeography.

“…The researchers were able to differentiate species from French Guiana by MALDI-TOF. Subsequently, Souza et al [195] used these analyses to differentiate 12 species of the genus Rhodnius. Furthermore, Souza et al [196] also differentiated the species of Cavernicola Barber, 1937.…”

Trends in Taxonomy of Chagas Disease Vectors (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae): From Linnaean to Integrative Taxonomy

et al. 2021

Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted mainly by members of the subfamily Triatominae. There are currently 157 species, grouped into 18 genera and five tribes. Most descriptions of triatomine species are based on classical taxonomy. Facing evolutionary (cryptic speciation and phenotypic plasticity) and taxonomic (more than 190 synonymizations) problems, it is evident that integrative taxonomy studies are an important and necessary trend for this group of vectors. Almost two-and-a-half centuries after the description of the first species, we present for the first time the state-of-the-art taxonomy of the whole subfamily, covering from the initial classic studies to the use of integrative taxonomy.

“…More recently, MALDI‐TOF MS appears as a robust method for accurate molecular identification and entomological surveillance (Yssouf et al ., 2016; Rakotonirina et al ., 2020). This approach has been successfully applied for some groups of disease vectors (Kaufmann et al ., 2011; Yssouf et al ., 2013a, 2014; Mewara et al ., 2018; Zurita et al ., 2019; dos Santos Souza et al ., 2020; Gittens et al ., 2020; Ouarti et al ., 2020; Rot et al ., 2020), for discriminating species complexes and cryptic species (Kaufmann et al ., 2012; Müller et al ., 2013; Yssouf et al ., 2013b). Some studies have applied this method for phlebotomine sand fly research (Dvořák et al ., 2014, 2020; Mathis et al ., 2015; Lafri et al ., 2016; Halada et al ., 2018a, 2018b; Arfuso et al ., 2019) and few ones have focused on New World phlebotomine sand flies (Mathis et al ., 2015; Chavy et al ., 2019).…”

A species complex (= species group, species series) is an assemblage of species, which are related morphologically and phylogenetically. Recent research has revealed several arthropod vector species that were believed to be a single nominal species actually representing a group of closely related species, which are sometimes morphologically indistinguishable at one or more developmental stages. In some instances, differences in terms of vector competence, capacity, or both have been recorded. It highlights the importance of detecting and studying species complexes to improve our understanding of pathogen transmission patterns, which may be vectored more or less efficiently by different species within the complex. Considering more than 540 species, about one‐third of the phlebotomine sand flies in the New World present males and/or females morphologically indistinguishable to one or more species. Remarkably, several of these species may act in transmission of pathogenic agents. In this article, we review recent research on species complexes in phlebotomine sand flies from the Americas. Possible practical implications of recently acquired knowledge and future research needs are also discussed.
