title: First report of Eratyrus mucronatus, Stal, 1859, (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae), in the State of Rondônia, Brazil.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This paper reports, for the first time, the presence of the Eratyrus mucronatus species in the State of Rondonia, Brazil.
  
  
  METHODS
  These specimens were caught by chance in the forest and later they were collected using luminous traps.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After finding these specimens, the number of the Triatominae genera in Rondonia rose to four, while its species rose to seven.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Complimentary studies will be conducted in order to allow for clearer understanding the ecology of this arthropod, its possible role in transmitting Chagas' disease and its current geographical distribution.
