Systematics of Triatoma dimidiata based on various DNA markers

Summary	Markers	Conclusions	Reference
T. dimidiata + 1 cryptic species	ITS-2	First suggestion of cryptic species in Yucatan, Mexico, suggest Ecuadorean T. dimidiata introduced from Central America.	(Marcilla et al., 2001)
T. dimidiata + 1 cryptic species	ITS-2	T. dimidiata from Peten, Guatemala identical to cryptic species from Yucatan, Mexico	(Dorn et al., 2007)
Revived 3 subspecies, added T. hegneri as a subspecies + 1 cryptic species	ITS-2	Named cryptic species from Yucatan, T. sp. aff. dimidiata; Subspecies: Group 1A (T. dimidiata dimidiata-Central Am.), 1B (T. dimidiata capitata - Colombia), 2 T. dimidiata maculipennis - Mexico), 3 (T. sp. aff. dimidiata); T. dimidiata hegneri – Cozumel, Mexico	(Bargues et al., 2008)
T. dimidiata s.s. + 1 cryptic species	ITS-2, Cytb (some bugs typed with both)	Subspecies not supported by mitochondrial marker, T. sp. aff. dimidiata confirmed by two markers, nuclear and mitochondrial	(Dorn et al., 2009)
5 species including T. hegneri + 2 cryptic species	Cytb, ND-4 with Cytb	Rejected ITS-2 results, concludes 5 species: 4 T. dimidiata, plus T. hegneri; first report of cryptic species in Rio Frio, Belize	(Monteiro et al., 2013)
T. dimidiata s.l., includes T. hegneri	ITS-2	North and Central Am. T. dimidiata in a monophyletic clade including divergent T. sp. aff. dimidiata within this clade; T. hegneri within T. dimidiata s.s. clade.	(de la Rua et al., 2014)
T. dimidiata s.s. + 2 cryptic species	ITS-2, Cytb, COI, ND4	All markers support T. dimidiata s.s., T. sp. aff. dimidiata, T. sp. aff. dimidiata (cave); basal clade differs in mitochondrial and nuclear genes	(Dorn et al., 2016)
