); (Carcavallo

Formosa
(
Carcavallo

Corrientes (
Carcavallo
et al
. 1988
): Dto. San Miguel (
Bar
et al
. 1999
); Dto. San Roque,
Colonia Laurel
, on the palm
Butia yatay
(Bar 2001)
, idem, 16 exx. in one nest on
Butia yatay
(
Bar & Wisnivesky-Colli 2001
)
; (
Damborsky
et al
. 2001
).
Note: Records of
Triatominae
from Corrientes were recorded by instars, provincial departments and seasons (
Bar
et al
. 1999
;
Damborsky
et al
. 2001
;
Bar
et al
. 2002
), but not by localities and/or species of birds’ nests, or by the number of specimens found per nest. The data presented by
Bar
et al
. (1999)
were taken from a total of 100 birds’ nests, of which 93 % were of
Annumbius annumbi
(Vieillot, 1817)
and
Phacellodomus ruber
(Vieillot, 1817)
[
Furnariidae
], and the remaining 7 % were of
Myiopsitta monacha cotorra
(Vieillot, 1817)
[
Psittacidae
],
Pitangus sulphuratus
[
bolivianus
(Lafresnaye, 1852)] [
Tyrannidae
],
Tyrannus savana
[
savana
Vieillot, 1807
] [
Tyrannidae
], and
Zonotrichia capensis
[
hypoleuca
(Todd, 1915)] [Emberyzidae] (see under the respective bird species). Therefore, all these records are of dubious value for birds’ nests species. In the work of
Bar & Wisnivesky-Colli (2001)
, “bird nests were present in 26.7 % (8 / 30) palms and half of them (4 / 8) belonged to the
Furnariidae
family”, and “the whole
T
.
sordida
population collected was 272 live specimens; 36 of them (13.2 %) were found in bird nests located in the palm frond”; only a small number of triatomines in one undetermined nest was recorded.
