Article Synopsis
- * The female genitalia of the hybrids displayed traits from both parent species, and cytogenetic analyses showed normal chromosome structures.
- * Molecular studies linked the hybrids to both parent species through specific genetic markers, revealing similar feeding and defecation patterns as their parents.
Trends in taxonomy of Triatomini (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae): reproductive compatibility reinforces the synonymization of Meccus Stål, 1859 with Triatoma Laporte, 1832.

Article Synopsis
- The taxonomy of the Meccus genus has changed multiple times since its first description in 1835, with recent studies supporting its synonymy with the Triatoma genus based on genetic evidence.
- Natural hybridization among related species within the T. phyllosoma subcomplex has been confirmed, showing the potential for viable offspring across different species.
- Experimental crosses between T. longipennis and T. mopan produced viable hybrids, indicating reproductive compatibility and supporting the reevaluation of species classification within the Triatominae subfamily.
