Abstract

Triatoma boliviana sp. n. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) from Sub Andean valleys of La Paz Bolivia, related to Triatoma nigromaculata Stal, 1859. We present the description of Triatoma boliviana sp. n. based on morphological external characters of 3 males and 3 females following the keys of Lent and Wygodzinsky (1979) and Carcavallo et al. (1997). The new species are very similar to Triatoma nigromaculata and was captured in Sub Andean valleys from Munecas Province, Department of La Paz, Bolivia.
