Article Abstract
In Argentina, 10 genera and 33 species of Stenopodainae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) have been recorded. Diagnoses of the genera, subgenera and species are given, and an illustrated key to genera is provided. Six species are new records for Argentina and an additional seven species represent new records for provinces.

Background: Stål, 1871 (Reduviidae, Stenopodainae) currently includes only two species: Stål, 1871 and Hidaka & Miller, 1959 only recorded from East Asia.
New Information: This study reviews the genus Stål, 1871 and its two described species. Based on the examination of the type specimens and the original descriptions, Hidaka & Miller, 1959 is regarded as a junior synonym of .

The assassin bug genus Stål, 1861 (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Stenopodainae) has a disjunct distribution in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. In the present study, the Asian species of are revised. Two species are recognized, redescribed, and illustrated, with the following new subjective synonyms and new combination proposed: Stål, 1861 = Distant, 1909, = Distant, 1919, ; (Reuter, 1882) = Distant, 1919, = Livingstone & Ravichandran, 1989, ; (Distant, 1909), (transferred from ) = Hsiao, 1977, Lectotypes for , , and are designated.
Chagas' disease is transmitted mainly by members of the subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). Among them, Triatoma infestans (Klug) is the main vector of the disease in Southern Cone of Latin America. In order to contribute to knowledge of the genetic variation between triatomine vectors, in the present study, we analyzed the intraspecific and interspecific variations of the seven mitogenomes available from Triatominae.

Based on the examination of the type specimens, the following new subjective synonymy is proposed in the Neotropical assassin bug genus Seridentus Osborn, 1904: S. denticulatus Osborn, 1904 = Gnathobleda maculosa Haviland, 1931, syn. nov.
