Species. B. pittieri Osuna and Ayala View in CoL

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).

Original citation. “En las frecuentes colectas de material entomológico, realizadas por el colega José M. Ayala en el Parque Nacional Henri Pittier, se capturo uno ejemplar de Triatominae , de singular aspecto por su pequeno tamaño y colores negro y amarillo, que luego de las detalladas observaciones, resulto ser una nueva especie y la segunda de éstas para el país” ( Osuna & Ayala 1993: 147).
