摘要
The authors revalidate the genus Mepraia, described in 1940 by Mazza, Gajardo and Jorg. The genus is monotypic and represented by the species M. spinolai (Porter, 1934). Based on the characteres described below the authors considered the separation of the genus Triatoma Laporte, 1832 and the return of the genus Mepraia. Strongly alar polymorphism, the abdomen of female with connexivum like in genus Dipetalogaster Usinger 1939, seven testicular follicles, like in Triatoma, however with a different relation of lengths; external male genitalia showing a big and foliar process of the conjunctiva vesica, with an arch-shape, struts and endosoma process absent.
