Resumo

The phylogenetic position of Triatoma sherlocki within triatomines group was inferred by analyzing mtDNA fragments of Cyt B and 16S ribosomal RNA by using maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis. Despite being differentiated from members of the T brasiliensis complex on morphologic grounds, molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests T sherlocki is a member of this complex; moreover, it was placed as a sister species of T melanica. These suggestions were supported by robust credibility rates. Hence, we show evidence for the paraphyletic group of the ``Triatoma brasiliensis complex,{''} which should be composed of T.brasiliensisbrasiliensis, T.brasiliensismacromelasoma, T.juazeirensis, T.melanica,and T.sherlocki.
