  abstract = {{T}he evolutionary history and times of divergence of triatomine bug lineages are estimated from molecular clocks inferred from nucleotide sequences of the small subunit {SSU} (18{S}) and the second internal transcribed spacer ({ITS}-2) of the nuclear ribosomal {DNA} of these reduviids. {T}he 18{S} r{DNA} molecular clock rate in {T}riatominae, and {P}rosorrhynchan {H}emiptera in general, appears to be of 1.8% per 100 million years (my). {T}he {ITS}-2 molecular clock rate in {T}riatominae is estimated to be around 0.4-1% per 1 my, indicating that {ITS}-2 evolves 23-55 times faster than 18{S} r{DNA}. {I}nferred chronological data about the evolution of {T}riatominae fit well with current hypotheses on their evolutionary histories, but suggest reconsideration of the current taxonomy of {N}orth {A}merica species complexes.
