[Triatoma jurbergi sp. n. from the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) with an updated list of synonyms and other taxa].
Triatoma jurbergi n. sp. is described based on nine specimens of both sexes deposited in the Rodolfo Carcavallo Collection in the Oswaldo Cruz Institute Entomological Collection. The new species can be separated from the closely related Triatoma guazu Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1979 by several characters. The most important are longer anteocular region; thin and pointed juga: the shape of the eyes without concavity in the posterior edge; much longer second rostral segment, passing the posterior edge of eye; the absence of a ventral longitudinal depression on the abdomen; the general color redish, brown and orange and the male genitalia, mainly in the vesical lightly chitinized and smaller, the phallosome with apical projection and the pointed apex of the endosome process.
