[ Rodentia ] (de la Barrera 1939; Bejarano 1967; Carcavallo et al . 1988 , only from Mendoza); Fig. 7 . Triatoma sordida sordida (Stal, 1859) ( Abalos 1948 ); (Carcavallo et al . 1998b); ( Canale 2005, occasionally ). Formosa ( Carcavallo et al . 1988 ). 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.
