Abstract
⺠Colombian Rhodnius robustus-like was submitted to morphometric and molecular analysis. ⺠Wing shape of R. robustus-like was different from R. prolixus and R. robustus. ⺠Wing shape differences were corroborated by analysis of cytb and 28S D2 rRNA genes. ⺠Haplotype of R. robustus-like seems be the one found by Abad-Franch and Monteiro (2005). ⺠Wing shape differences may help the vector control of Chagas disease in Colombia.
