  abstract = {{A} survey of natural ecotopes of #{T}riatoma infestans$ dark morph and other triatomine sylvatic species was performed in an uninhabited area of the {B}olivian {C}haco. {A}mong the 321 triatomines collected by light trapping, only 4 #{T}. infestans$ dark morph specimens were identified. {P}redominant flying species were #{T}. guasayana$ and #{T}. sordida$ group 2 (51.7% and 37.1% of capture, respectively). {T}he same species prevailed in terrestrial and epiphytic bromeliads where scarce #{T}. infestans$ dark morph nymphal instars were also detected. {I}n parrot nests #{T}. delpontei$ prevailed broadly over other species (90.2% of the capture) and only 4 #{T}. infestans$ dark morph adults were collected. {I}n contrast, #{T}. infestans$ dark morph was the predominant species captured in hollow trees (46.0% of the total collected). {T}he abundance of immature forms (88.2% of the collection) shows that hollow trees constitute a favourable ecotope for this species. {O}f the 421 trees investigated, 33.7% were positive for triatomines. #{T}. infestans$ dark morph, found inside 15.0% of them, also had higher apparent density than other species (average number of #{T}. infestans$ in positive trees, 2.0 plus or minus 1.6 vs 1.3 plus or minus 0.6 for other species). {L}ight trapping seems to be an efficient method to sample the #{T}. sordida$-#{T}. guasayana$ complex in that it shows a similar distribution to that observed in natural ecotopes. {H}owever, this method is ineffective for the assessment of the local abundance of #{T}. infestans$ dark morph.
