  abstract = {{I}nsects of the genus {R}hodnius are broadly involved in {C}hagas disease transmission. {I}n {F}rench {G}uiana, where the disease remains a public health problem, {R}. robustus and {R}. pictipes are vectors, but so far few genetic analyses of these local species have been reported. {H}ere, we explored three mitochondrial genes ({C}ytb, {L}su-r{RNA}, and {ND}1) and one nuclear gene ({D}2) in 49 adult specimens morphologically characterized as {R}. robustus. {W}e analyzed genetic polymorphisms and haplotype distributions, and we built phylogenetic trees using the available {G}en{B}ank sequences from {R}. robustus and related species. {T}he molecular taxonomy analysis confirmed that 35 insects, closely related to {B}razilian species and separated by a few mutations, truly belong to {R}. robustus; two others were attributed to the {R}. prolixus complex and for 12 no sequence was obtained. {T}he geographical haplotype distribution indicates a likely geographical structuring and evidenced true differentiation between the two main urban centers, {C}ayenne and {S}aint-{L}aurent-du-{M}aroni.},
