Abstract
Antennal sensilla patterns were used to explore intraspecific variability a mong Triatoma infestans (Klug) from domestic habitats in Argentina and Boli via, and from sylvatic habitats in Bolivia. The sensilla pattern was effect ive in distinguishing individuals at sexual: ecotopic, and geographic level s, and supported the idea of a lack of gene flow between sylvatic and domes tic habitats.
