Species. M. pratai Sherlock and Guitton
Etymology. We shall call it Microtriatoma pratai sp. n., in homage to our illustrious master of tropical diseases, Professor Aluisio Prata, whose teachings and investigative studies have greatly contributed towards clarifying the mechanisms of infectious and parasitic diseases such as Chagas disease. The insect described here may be one of the natural vectors for the biocenosis of T. cruzi ( Sherlock & Guitton 1982: 131) .
