The first characters to be affected by microevolutionary changes are continuous characters (Falconer). Morphometrics measures them and represents a low-cost tool adapted to the study of phenotypic evolution. In medically important insects, this study may have importance at an epidemiological level. I present here a few tools dedicated to students, to scientists and to health services, helping at species identification and population characterization. They are currently focused on Triatominae, the vectors of Chagas disease in Latin America, and Phlebotominae, the vectors of (neotropical) leishmaniasis, but can be applied to other insects or organisms.
