Background  The Triatomini and Rhodniini (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) tribes include the most diverse Chagas disease vectors; however, the phylogenetic relationships within the tribes remain obscure. This study provides the most comprehensive phylogeny of Triatomini reported to date.    Methods  The relationships between all of the Triatomini genera and representatives of the three Rhodniini species groups were examined in a novel molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the following six molecular markers: the mitochondrial 16S; Cytochrome Oxidase I and II (COI and COII) and Cytochrome B (Cyt B); and the nuclear 18S and 28S.    Results  Our results show that the  Rhodnius prolixus  and  R. pictipes  groups are more closely related to each other than to the  R. pallescens  group. For Triatomini, we demonstrate that the large complexes within the paraphyletic  Triatoma  genus are closely associated with their geographical distribution. Additionally, we observe that the divergence within the  spinolai  and  flavida  complex clades are higher than in the other  Triatoma  complexes.    Conclusions  We propose that the  spinolai  and  flavida  complexes should be ranked under the genera  Mepraia  and  Nesotriatoma . Finally, we conclude that a thorough morphological investigation of the paraphyletic genera  Triatoma  and  Panstrongylus  is required to accurately assign queries to natural genera.
