Triatoma juazeirensis
, a new triatomine species from the state of Bahia, Northeastern Brazil, is described. The new species is found among rocks in sylvatic environment and in the peridomicile. Type specimens were deposited in the Entomological Collection of Oswaldo Cruz Institute-Fiocruz, Museum of Zoology of University of São Paulo, and Florida Museum of Natural History.
T. juazeirensis can be distinguished from the other members of the
T. brasiliensis species complex mainly by the overall color of the pronotum, which is dark, and by the entirely dark femora.
