Wikipedia shows that the Spanish term for bed bug is chinche. However, my understanding is that chinche (at least in Central America) refers to the insect that spreads Chagas disease. What are the correct terms for these two insects, and how can you make the (very important!) difference clear when talking about them?

1 Both bed bugs and the insects that spread the protozoan that causes Chagas disease are insects of the order Hemiptera. Bugs of this order are commonly referred to in Spanish as chinches, so this is a good name for either. So yes, both bugs are closely related. If you want to differentiate, you can always be specific (or pedantic!) and use their scientific names; Triatominae (or triatomines) for the Chagas disease vector and Cimex for bed bugs. answered Jan 23, 2012 at 0:56
