  abstract = {{L}imited genetic data are currently available for three vectors of {C}hagas disease in {E}cuador, {P}anstrongylus howardi, {P}. chinai, and {P}. rufotuberculatus. {P}reviously regarded as mainly sylvatic, these species have been poorly studied. {R}ecently, they have been more frequently reported in domiciles and peridomiciles and are now considered true secondary vectors of {C}hagas disease in a country where an estimated 200,000 people are infected by {T}rypanosoma cruzi, a causative agent of this disease. {I}n order to fill this gap, we obtained {DNA} for sequencing from 53 insects belonging to these three species and mainly sampled from the two {E}cuadorian provinces of {L}oja and {M}anabi. {W}e used six mitochondrial loci ({COI}, {COII}, {ND}4, {C}yt{B}, 16{S}, and 12{S}) and two nuclear ones ({ITS}2 and 18{S}). {W}e interpreted the phylogenetic trees built with single and concatenated data through maximum likelihood, {B}ayesian {M}arkov chain {M}onte {C}arlo, and maximum parsimony methods. {W}e provide evidence that {P}. chinai and {P}. howardi are indeed two supported species closely related and derived from a common ancestor. {A}dditionally, the phylogenetic position of {P}. rufotuberculatus was confirmed as being distant from {P}. chinai and {P}. howardi and clustered with {T}riatoma dimidiata, a species belonging to the {N}orthern {A}merican {T}riatoma clade.},
