Figure 2

Modeled geographic distributions of members of the protracta species complex: red = Triatoma barberi, yellow = T. p. woodi, green = T. sinaloensis, blue = T. p. protracta, black = T. peninsularis, and pink = T. p. zacatecensis. Only areas predicted for each species at the highest level of confidence (all best-subsets models agree) are shown.
