The present work reports the first record of Eratyrus mucronatus Stål, 1859 and Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus (Champion, 1899) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) in a riverside community of Rio Negro in the Brazilian Amazon. Health promotion activities were carried out with the population and agent to combat endemic diseases. The entomological findings reinforce the importance of community participation in the surveillance and control of triatomines. The use of knowledge dissemination actions on Chagas disease and vectors strengthened the entomological surveillance in the middle Rio Negro, Amazonas state.

Populations of Triatoma sordida (St?l, 1859) with wide geographic distribution in the area that stretches across South America, are primarily associated with the area of Cerrado "Savanna corridor" in Brazil and other South American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay), being found in the Gran-Chaco biome. In Brazil they are still found in dry Savanna areas, Caatinga, Atlantic Forest and Pantanal. However, this distribution is not uniform in its range, and dispersibility and colonization of new habitats is conditioned by the interaction between abiotic and biotic factors. The areas modified by human pressure contribute to the dispersion process of the different T. sordida populations, modifying the mechanisms of association with the fauna in the natural environment. Aiming to study the populations of T. sordida, multidisciplinary approaches were undertaken to test the hypothesis that occurrence of a structuring based on phenotypic features are related to phytogeographical characteristics. For this purpose, we performed the characterization of the male external genitalia by light microscopy and of the females by scanning electron microscopy; geometric morphometric studies of the wings of both sexes; and biochemical analysis of cuticular hydrocarbon profiles. The presence of infection by Trypanosoma cruzi was also investigated using the multiplex-PCR technique. The differences in morphology of the genital structure of both sexes could not be used to structure populations by ecoregions. The geometric morphometrics analysis detected significant variations in size and shape expressing a possible genetic plasticity in populations. The hydrocarbon profiles also indicate a tendency to aggregate the populations in ecoregions. The populations of the three analyzed ecoregions were negative for T. cruzi infection. The results obtained are indicate that the populations of T. sordida are presenting genetic variations in the areas of geographical distribution. Diferentes esp?cies da subfam?lia Triatominae est?o envolvidas na transmiss?o da Tripanosom?ase Americana em uma ?rea que abrange desde o sul dos Estados Unidos da Am?rica at? o sul da Argentina. As popula??es de Triatoma sordida (St?l, 1859) com ampla distribui??o geogr?fica na ?rea que se estende pela Am?rica do Sul, s?o basicamente associadas ao dom?nio do bioma Cerrado "corredor Cerrado" no Brasil e, em demais pa?ses da Am?rica do Sul (Argentina, Bol?via, Paraguai e Uruguai), sendo encontradas no bioma do Gran-Chaco. No Brasil ainda s?o encontradas em ?reas de Cerrado seco, Caatinga, Mata Atl?ntica e Pantanal. No entanto, esta distribui??o n?o ? uniforme em sua ?rea de ocorr?ncia, e a capacidade de dispers?o e coloniza??o de novos habitats ? condicionada pela intera??o entre fatores abi?ticos e bi?ticos. As ?reas modificadas por press?o antr?pica contribuem para o processo de dispers?o das diferentes popula??es de T. sordida, modificando os mecanismos de associa??o com a fauna no ambiente natural. Com o objetivo de estudar as popula??es de T. sordida, abordagens multidisciplinares foram realizadas para testar a hip?tese de que a ocorr?ncia de estrutura??o de caracter?sticas fenot?picas estar relacionadas com as fitogeogr?ficas. Para isso, foi utilizado: a caracteriza??o morfol?gica da genit?lia externa do macho por microscopia ?ptica, e das f?meas por microscopia eletr?nica de varredura; an?lises da morfometria geom?trica das asas de machos e f?meas e an?lise bioqu?mica do perfil de hidrocarbonetos cuticulares. Tamb?m foi investigada a presen?a de infec??o por Trypanosoma cruzi pela t?cnica multiplex-PCR. A morfologia das estruturas da genit?lia de macho e f?meas n?o forneceram diferen?as que pudessem estruturar as popula??es por ecorregi?es. As an?lises com a morfometria geom?trica detectaram varia??es significativas no tamanho e forma que expressam uma plasticidade possivelmente g?nica nas popula??es. Os perfis de hidrocarbonetos apresentados tamb?m assinalam a tend?ncia a uma poss?vel agrega??o das popula??es em ecorregi?es. As popula??es das tr?s ecorregi?es analisadas estavam negativas quanto ? presen?a de infecc??o por T. cruzi. Os resultados observados expressam que as popula??es de T. sordida v?m apresentando varia??es gen?ticas ao longo de sua ?rea de distribui??o.
