Resumen
There are several specific complexes belonging to the genus Triatoma Laporte, 1832, which are
generally associated to specific geographic areas. Recent publications have linked the oliveirai complex to ecosystems
of Mato Grosso, which are also present in other Brazilian states and even in other bordering countries as
eastern Paraguay. The study of the abundant material collected during the last years allowed the description of
several new species of the oliveirai complex: T. jurbergi Carcavallo, Galvão & Lent, 1998; T. baratai Carcavallo &
Jurberg, 2000 and T. klugi Carcavallo, Jurberg, Lent & Galvão, 2001. Another new species belonging to the same
complex is described here as T. vandae sp.n. It originates from the state of Mato Grosso, and has been reared in the
insectary of the Laboratório Nacional e Internacional de Referência em Taxonomia de Triatomíneos, Departamento
de Entomologia, Instituto Oswaldo Cruz-Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro.
