Abstract

Background: Rhodnius zeledoni was described from a single specimen. Since its description, doubts have arisen regarding the taxonomic status of this species in relation to Rhodnius domesticus.

Methods: The present study reviewed and compared R. zeledoni with R. domesticus based on morphological analysis and head geometric morphometrics.

Results: Our analysis revealed the absence of distinctive diagnostic characters between the two species at specific levels. Rhodnius zeledoni and R. domesticus show morphological and morphometric similarity, with only minor differences in coloration observed between them. Contrary to previous statements, our analysis showed that R. zeledoni and R. paraensis are not closely related species, not corroborating previous studies with such an assumption.

Conclusions: Therefore, we formally propose R. zeledoni as a junior synonym of R. domesticus.

Rhodnius zeledoni Jurberg, Rocha & Galvão 的分类学重新评估：形态学和形态计量学分析，比较其与 Rhodnius domesticus Neiva & Pinto 的分类学关系。

背景：Rhodnius zeledoni 是根据一个标本描述的。自该物种被描述以来，人们对其与家燕的分类地位产生了怀疑：本研究基于形态学分析和头部几何形态计量学，对泽勒多尼（Rhodnius zeledoni）与驯化罗汉鱼（Rhodnius domesticus）进行了回顾和比较：结果：我们的分析表明，这两个物种在特定水平上没有明显的诊断特征。Rhodnius zeledoni和R. domesticus在形态学和形态计量学上表现出相似性，它们之间仅在颜色上存在细微差别。与之前的说法相反，我们的分析表明，R. zeledoni 和 R. paraensis 并非近缘种，这与之前的研究假设不符：因此，我们正式建议将 R. zeledoni 作为 R. domesticus 的小异名。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
