title: Isoenzyme electrophoresis of Rhodnius species: a phenetic approach to relationships within the genus.
abstract: Seventeen samples of Rhodnius, representing at least eight different species according to their morphological characteristics, were submitted to multilocus isoenzyme electrophoresis, revealing 17 different loci. A phenetic analysis of the enzyme data not only clustered the species in accordance with their geographical origin but also revealed interspecific relationships that differed from those expected from the morphology.
