Panstrongylus noireaui, a remarkable new species of Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) from Bolivia

Abstract

<i>Panstrongylusnoireaui</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> from Bolivia is described based on male and female specimens. Although morphologically almost indistinguishable from <i>Panstrongylusrufotuberculatus</i> (Champion, 1899), the new species shows remarkable chromosome and molecular features, which are very distinctive among all others <i>Panstrongylus</i> species. The new species is also separated by some characteristics of the processes of the endosoma of the male genitalia. An updated key for species of <i>Panstrongylus</i> is provided.
