title: Phylogenetic relationships of the Spinolai complex and other Triatomini based on mitochondrial DNA sequences (Hemiptera: Reduviidae).
abstract: In this study, we performed a phylogenetic analysis of 35 species of the tribe Triatomini by means of available 16S ribosomal DNA and cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene sequence data, adding taxa of the spinolai complex, to clarify phylogenetic relationships of this complex and related triatomines. The phylogenetic analysis suggests a monophyletic clustering of the spinolai complex related to the South American species of triatomines.
