Abstract
The non-domiciliary species of Triatominae of Costa Rica that have been reported in the literature include Panstrongyhis geniculatus, Belminus costaricensis, Triatoma venosa (Usinger, 1944, U.S. Pub. Hlth. Serv. Bull. 288, 81 p.), Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus (Zeledón & Vargas, 1955, Rev. Biol. Trop. 3(2): 179–82) and Triatoma nitida (Vieto, 1961, II Congreso Latinoamericano y I Nacional de Microbiologia, San José, Costa Rica, XVIII, p. 1–156). We now report the finding of an adult male of Triatoma dispar Lent, 1950. The specimen comes from “Finca Las Brumas” situated in Sucre, 9 km south of Ciudad Quesada, Province of Alajuela. It was captured at night, apparently after ingestion of human blood, in one room of a house located in the finca mentioned above.Keywords
