Several authors may have misidentified T. arthurneivai and consequently published erroneous information. This work reports the use of geometric morphometric analysis on wings in order to differentiate T. arthurneivai and T. wygodzinskyi, and thus to detect possible misidentifications. Triatomines collected from the field in the states of Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, and from laboratory colonies, were used. Analyses show a clear differentiation between specimens of T. arthurneivai and T. wygodzinskyi. This indicates that T. arthurneivai populations from Sao Paulo state were misidentified and should be considered as T. wygodzinskyi. This study also suggests that T. arthurneivai is an endemic species from Serra do Cipo, Minas Gerais state. specialized Triatoma arthurneivai Triatoma wygodzinskyi geometric morphometrics sylvatic triatomines Brazil 052 080 25 2 178-183 2011 0269-283X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053538 10.1111/j.1365-2915.2010.00912.x 0269-283X [F B010053538] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053538 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2011/05/010053538.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2011-05-31 2017-08-23 fdi:010053538 fre
