Description
Summary:Triatoma jatai Gonçalves et al., 2013 is a wild triatomine known so far only from the state of Tocantins, Brazil. This work aims to report a new occurrence of T. jatai in the state of Ceará and update its geographic distribution in the country by means of a map. In August 2022, during sampling in Dr. José Maria Soares Barata private collection, a female specimen of T. jatai was found. This specimen was collected in 1998 at a wild environment in the locality of Coqueiro, municipality of Salitre, Ceará. The identification was based on the original description of T. jatai. The specimen was donated and deposited in the collection of the Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas, Unesp, Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil. With this new first record, the distribution of the species is extended to the state of Ceará, which is represented by ten Triatominae species.
