Introduction: This study aimed to confirm the occurrence of Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus in the state of Acre, Brazil.
Methods: The four specimens of P. rufotuberculatus were obtained from the entomological collection of the Zoobotanical Park of the Federal University of Acre (UFAC).
Results: Confirmation of the occurrence of this species in the state of Acre increases the number of species already registered, from nine to ten.
Conclusions: The necessity to develop further studies was verified, especially with the domiciliary process of P. rufotuberculatus, resulting in tracing prophylactic measures against the vector transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi.

California's Bay-Delta watershed encompasses 40% of the state's runoff and serves water supply and irrigation needs throughout the state. A recently amended policy attempts to rebalance water supply and ecological outcomes by requiring 40% of the flow to remain in-stream in the Tuolumne River and other tributaries between February 1 and June 30 each year. This policy impacts water supply diversions serving millions of customers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
