Pickens Co., Clemson College, September 1940, ex fireplace wall with chimney swift nest, coll. F. Sherman; unlisted location, 29 June 1988, ex inside house, coll. J.W. Gillespee; Oconee Co., “Clemson”, 14 September 1913 (Usinger 1966); Seneca, 10 July 1956, ex house, coll. J. Norton.

Cimexopsis nyctalis is an ectoparasite of chimney swifts, Chaetura pelagica (Linnaeus) (Usinger 1966) , but occasionally enters homes and bites humans. Cimexopsis nyctalis is not known to transmit any pathogens, but other cimicid ectoparasites of birds are vectors of arboviruses (Krisnky 2002).
