dc.description.abstractQuantitative analysis of morphological characters of the head was used to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the tropicopolitan bug Triatoma rubrofasciata (De Geer) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) and seven species of Old World Triatoma. Multivariate analysis demonstrates that T. rubrofasciata and the Old World species have a high degree of similarity with Nearctic Triatoma species, particularly T. rubida (Uhler). We interpret this to imply a common ancestry for these groups. Dissemination of T. rubrofasciata and subsequent derivation of the Old World species of Triatoma is deduced to have occurred over a period of not more than 350 years.
