  abstract = {{B}ackground: {C}hagas disease vectors ({H}emiptera-{R}eduviidae) comprise more than 140 blood-sucking insect species of the {T}riatominae subfamily. {T}he largest genus is {T}riatoma, subdivided in several complexes and subcomplexes according to morphology, ecology and genetic features. {O}ne of them is the sordida subcomplex, involving four species: {T}riatoma sordida, {T}. guasayana, {T}. garciabesi and {T}. patagonica. {G}iven the great morphological similarity of these species, their taxonomic identification, evolutionary relationships and population differentiation have been controversial for many years and even today remain under discussion. {M}ethods: {W}e simultaneously analyzed two chromosomal markers, {C}-heterochromatin distribution and 45{S} ribosomal genes chromosomal position, of 139 specimens from several sordida subcomplex populations from {A}rgentina, {B}olivia, {B}razil and {P}araguay, collected both in nature and from several established insectaries. {O}ur results were compared with {COI} sequences deposited in {G}en{B}ank. {R}esults: {W}e recognized five chromosomal taxa with putative hybrids, which each differ in at least one chromosome marker. {M}ost of them present significant differences in their mt{DNA} sequences. {C}onclusion: {T}he chromosomal taxa here show a significant chromosome differentiation involving changes in the {C}-heterochromatin content and in the ribosomal clusters position. {T}his paper identifies several erroneously classified populations by morphological methods, delimits the geographical distribution of each taxon and proposes the existence of a new cryptic species, widely distributed in {A}rgentina. {W}e also suggest that sordida sibling species involve closely related as well as evolutionary distant species. {T}axonomic status of each chromosomal taxon is discussed considering phenotypic and genetic results previously published.},
