Characterization of the Buccula, Rostrum, Stridulatory Sulcus, Scutellum, and External Female Genitalia of (Jurberg, Rocha & Lent, 1998), (Stål, 1859), and (Blanchard, 1843) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae).

In Brazil, (Blanchard, 1843) is the most important species in epidemiological terms in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, due to its wide geographical distribution in this state, followed by (Jurberg, Rocha & Lent, 1998) and (Stål, 1859). Structural analysis of the ventral region of the head (rostrum and buccula), thorax (stridulatorium sulcus and scutellum), and external female genitalia of adults of , , and is described here. Scutellum, head, rostrum, and part of the thorax (prosternum) containing the stridulatory sulcus, in both male and female, and the sixth abdominal segment of the female, containing the external genitalia, were processed for scanning electron microscopy studies as routine.

- Triatoma carcavalloi is a wild insect species found alongside other related species in rural Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, which can transmit Trypanosoma cruzi.
- The study measured aspects like incubation periods, blood meal patterns, and mortality rates, revealing a 22.7-day incubation period, with nymphs typically feeding about 13.4 times during growth.
- Findings showed that 3rd stage nymphs had the highest mortality and that adults lived an average of 25.6 weeks, providing new insights into the biology and life cycle of T. carcavalloi.
Ultrastructure and morphometry of eggs of Triatoma rubrovaria (Blanchard, 1843), Triatoma carcavalloi Juberg, Rocha & Lent, 1998 and Triatoma circummaculata (Stål, 1859) (Hemiptera-Reduviidae-Triatominae).

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the eggs of three species of Triatoma, analyzing their body and operculum structure through microscopy.
- Triatoma rubrovaria is highlighted as a significant vector for Trypanosoma cruzi in rural Rio Grande do Sul, with T. circummaculata also being important.
- Notable morphological differences were found, including variations in egg size and perforation counts, which could aid in better understanding and monitoring these vectors in human habitats.
