Trogoderma sp. 1

Adults of this species, which have long black larvae with an orange head, have bands of whitish hairs on the elytra. The species was found in nests of A. annumbi during autumn, winter, and before the end of summer ( Table 2), always in low numbers. It appears identical to the undetermined species of Trogoderma found in the nest of a Furnariidae bird from Neuquén: Auca Mahuida ( Turienzo & Di Iorio 2007).
