No Uruguai, são conhecidas 10 espécies de triatomíneos com importância epidemiológica variável, dentre as quais destacamse Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834) e T. rubrovaria (Blanchard, 1843), consideradas as principais espécies vetoras. Triatoma platensis Neiva, 1913, apesar de ser uma espécie silvestre, pode conviver com T. infestans em galinheiros, chegando a gerar híbridos férteis. Estas três espécies fazem parte do "complexo T. infestans", formado por cinco espécies. Devido à importância epidemiológica dessas espécies no Uruguai e com a finalidade de ampliar o conjunto dos parâmetros morfológicos diferenciais destas espécies apresentamos uma abordagem morfométrica comparativa da cabeça e do pronoto. Foram medidas quatro variáveis da cabeça e quatro do pronoto a partir de 50 machos e 50 fêmeas, de cada espécie, provenientes de criação de laboratório. O programa JMP foi utilizado para as análises de Componentes Principais (ACP) e Discriminante (AD). Os resultados demonstraram que os dois primeiros componentes principais (CP1 e CP2) exibem aproximadamente 77% da variação total. Os caracteres mais importantes para a distinção das espécies foram a região anteocular (RAO) e a região pós-ocular (RPO), indicando que a morfometria da cabeça se mostrou mais eficiente que o pronoto para diferenciar estas espécies. A análise discriminante possibilitou separar T. platensis e T. rubrovaria mas não foi capaz de separá-las de T. infestans.
In Uruguay, we can find 10 species with different epidemiological importance, amongst them we emphasize Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834) and T. rubrovaria (Blanchard, 1843), considered main vectors. Triatoma platensis Neiva, 1913, that although being a wild species can cohabit with T. infestans in chicken coops. These three species, belong to "T. infestans complex", wich is composed by five species. Because the epidemiological importance of these species in Uruguay and, with the aim to increase morphological parameters, we present here a comparative morphometric approach from head and pronotum. A series of four head and four pronotum measurements were taken from 50 males and 50 females, from each species, reared in laboratory. All calculations used JMP software, throughout Principal Component Analysis and Discriminant Analysis. Results demonstrate that the first principal components display 77% of total variation. The best characters to distinguish these species are: anteocular region (RAO) and postocular region (RPO), indicating that head morphometry was more useful than pronotum morphometry to revealed differences among these species. The discriminant analysis provides a discrimination function able to separate T. platensis and T. rubrovaria but not T. infestans.
