Minas Gerais . Public health importance. This species is mainly found in sylvatic environments, and occasionally peridomiciliar habitats. Although the experimental infection by T. cruzi was easily obtained (Forattini et al. 1968) and natural infection has been found ( Barretto and Ribeiro 1981 ), this triatomine is not important as vectors to human ( Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979 ). Remarks. This species could be misidentified as T. wygodzinskyi in Brazil , because of the morphological similarity between them ( Carbajal-de-la-Fuente et al. 2011 ). The developmental cycle under the name of T. arthurneivai , reported by Juarez (1970) , is attributed for the T. wygodzinskyi as pointed by Carbajal-de-la-Fuente (2010) . This species can be attracted by light trap ( Dias et al. 2011 ).
