Belminus pittieri Osuna and Ayala
Description
Species. B. pittieri Osuna and Ayala
Etymology. During frequent collections of entomological material performed by our colleague José M. Ayala in the Henri Pittier National Park, a triatominae specimen of singular appearance because of its small size and black and yellow colors was caught. After detailed observations, it proved to be a new species: the second Triatominae species in this country, Venezuela (Osuna & Ayala 1993: 147).
