  abstract = {{T}he trend to domesticity in #{T}riatominae$ may represent a transitionary phase towards increasing vectorial importance in the transmission of {C}hagas disease to humans, and requires sustained entomological surveillance. {A}lthough generally considered a sylvatic species, #{P}anstrongylus rufotuberculatus$ has been recently captured inside human dwellings in the provinces of {N}or {Y}ungas and {M}unecas in the {D}epartment of {L}a {P}az, {B}olivia, providing evidence of this species' ability to colonise domestic habitats. {T}he results of previous research on domestic and sylvatic specimens of other species of #{T}riatominae$ indicate that morphometrics could be used to monitor this adaptive process. {T}he most likely cause of differences seen in the size and shape of bugs from domestic colonies of #{P}. rufotuberculatus$ from two neighbouring villages in {B}olivia is probably genetic drift rather than environmental influences. {C}omparison with allopatric sylvatic specimens, including the holotype of #{P}. rufotuberculatus$, showed a general reduction in size from sylvatic to domestic specimens.
