猎蝽（锥蝽亚科）在东南亚作为一种令人讨厌的叮咬昆虫被越来越多地报道，严重的叮咬反应有时会导致过敏性休克。此外，它们还带来了锥虫病媒介传播的风险，由于该地区锥虫种类繁多，可能会造成诊断困难。在此，我们回顾了有关亚洲锥蝽亚科的现有信息，并利用形态测量、细胞遗传学和新的DNA序列数据进行了进一步比较，以阐明它们彼此之间以及与更为人熟知的美洲种类的关系。我们推断，所有亚洲锥蝽亚科可能都源自15 - 18世纪在帆船上最初传播的种类，这些种类来自现在构成美国南部的地区。（C）2015爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Kissing-bugs (Triatominae) are being increasingly reported as a biting nuisance in SE Asia, with severe bite reactions sometimes leading to anaphylactic shock. In addition, they pose a risk for vector-borne transmission of trypanosomiasis, with potential diagnostic difficulties due to the range of trypanosome species in the region. Here, we review available information about Triatominae in Asia, and present additional comparisons using morphometry, cytogenetics, and new DNA sequence data, to clarify their relationship with each other and with the better known American species. We deduce that all Asian Triatominae have probably derived from forms originally spread during the 15-18th centuries on sailing ships, from the area that now forms the southern USA.
