Adult triatomines were collected with a luminous trap and by hand in June and November 2016 in the Mucajai and São João da Baliza counties, in Center-Southern and Southern Roraima. Brazil. Eratyrus mucronatus Stål, 1859 and Rhodnius montenegrensis Rosa et al. 2012 are recorded for the first time in the Roraima state. The finding of E. mucronatus and R. montenegrensis in that area has expanded their known geographical distribution within Brazil and increased the number of records of triatomine species in Roraima state from 4 to 6.
