ABSTRACT
Triatoma spinolai is a wild species of triatomine existing exclusively in Chile, with scarce epidemological importance in the transmission of trypanosoma cruzi to man. It has been found in enviroments from 3000 meters down to the sea level. Excepcionally it has been found in human dwellings. In order to clarify the possibility of an adaptation of T. spinolai to human dwellings a study was undertaken in 50 rural-periurban dwellings from regions III, IV, V and metropolitan in which this triatomine was found. The dwellings were clasiffied in houses (35) and huts (15). The insects was trapped in 35 dwellings (24 houses and 11 huts) located in declivities (70 for percent) and 15 dwellings (14 and 1) located in plains. This proportion is significantly higher than the average of 26,2 for percent for dwellings located in declivities. It is concluded tahat presence of T. spinolai in dwellings, more than a triatomine invasion is the result of the construction of huts or houses in the insect habitat
