Triatomineos are vector insects from Tripanosoma cruzi , the main insect in causing Chagas’s Disease. In August 2013, professional from the Regional Health Superintendence of Coronel Fabriciano, Minas Gerais, registered the arrival of a Triatomine female identified as Rhodnius prolixus . The insect originated from a domestic residence of the people from Caete, Acucena municipality. In order to confirm its identity, the insect was sent to the Research Center Rene Rachou (CPqRR/FIOCRUZ). In the identification of the triatominae, they used taxonomic keys and external morphology of the female genitals, allowing the insect to be identified as Rhodnius domesticus . The differentiating features in relation to other species were: the size of 15.5 mm, the brownish-yellow colour with chestnut brown in parts, absence of the spotted or speckled aspect, short head and non-curled feet. As well as this, the female genitals, in dorsal view, presented a moon shaped line dividing the ninth and tenth segment, and in ventral perspective presented the ninth segment finishing slightly below the tenth. The sample was stored in the collection of Chagas’s disease vectors (Fiocruz- COLVEC) do CPqRR/FIOCRUZ. It was the first time that this species was earmarked in the region. It’s important that entomology vigilance service is aware of the presence of the rare triatomines and process their identification correctly. In this way, entomologic collections and reference services have an important role, ensuring a quality service in identification.
