通过头部形态特征的定量分析，重建了热带都市昆虫红带锥蝽（半翅目：红斑锥蝽科）和七种旧大陆锥蝽的进化史。多变量分析表明，T. rubrofasciata 和旧大陆物种与近北极锥蝽物种，特别是 T. rubida (Uhler) 具有高度相似性。我们将此解释为暗示这些群体有共同的祖先。据推断，红带锥蝽的传播和随后东半球锥蝽属物种的衍生发生在不超过 350 年的时间里。
Quantitative analysis of morphological characters of the head was used to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the tropicopolitan bug Triatoma rubrofasciata (De Geer) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) and seven species of Old World Triatoma. Multivariate analysis demonstrates that T. rubrofasciata and the Old World species have a high degree of similarity with Nearctic Triatoma species, particularly T. rubida (Uhler). We interpret this to imply a common ancestry for these groups. Dissemination of T. rubrofasciata and subsequent derivation of the Old World species of Triatoma is deduced to have occurred over a period of not more than 350 years.
