  1. The reclassification method was based on either size (Si) or shape (Sh), separately. Validated classification, i.e. the percent of correctly assigned individuals (ratio in parentheses)
  2. Abbreviations: Si size, Sh shape, P. c. Panstrongylus chinai, P. h. P. howardi, T. c. Triatoma carrioni, R. e. Rhodnius ecuadoriensis, Global total scores
