Resumen:
Triatoma jatai was described using a set of morphological structures from specimens collected in Paranã municipality of Tocantins state, Brazil. Under a Bayesian framework and using two mitochondrial genes (16S and COI) phylogenetic analysis recovered T. jatai as a sister species to Triatoma costalimai with higher genetic distances than between other well recognized species. Our results agree with previous suggestions based on morphometric analysis. In the light of the non-monophyly of Matogrossensis subcomplex, the inclusion of T. jatai shall be considered for re-evaluating this group.
