Description

Panstrongylus guentheri Berg, 1879

Distribution. Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul.

Public health importance. Sylvatic species, associated with rodents and didelphids. Although accidentally captured in dwellings and peridomestically among firewood, it has never colonized houses so far. It has been found infected with T. cruzi (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1979).

Remarks. This triatomine prefers living in habitats with a relative humidity of <50% (Carcavallo et al. 1994).
