Abstract
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.
