Torrealbaia martinezi Carcavallo, Jurberg & Lent, 1998: 145 [sp. nov., in Triatominae : Cavernicolini], NEW SYNONYMY

Torrealbaia martinezi: Galvão, Carcavallo, Rocha & Jurberg, 2003: 5 [catalogue]

With all the evidence at hand (see below) we argue that the two names, T. martinezi and A. venator , refer to the same taxon. For a complete synonymy of A. venator see Maldonado (1990) and Putshkov & Putshkov (1996).

This placement of a harpactorine taxon within Triatominae is not the first instance of the description of a triatomine reduviid that was clearly misplaced: Aradomorpha championi Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1944 ( Reduviinae ) was first described as Microtriatoma pratai Sherlock & Guitton, 1982 in Triatominae , but later synonymyzed by Lent (1982).
