Note: Specimens of
P. u r i t u i
had been found in regurgitated foods of parrots’ nestlings, possibly as a consecuence of a cleaning behavior (Aramburú & Corbalán 2000; Aramburú
et al
. 2000). This can only occur by the presence of
P. uritui
in the respective nests. The same occurs with the nymphs obtained from nestlings (
Aramburú
et al
. 2003
).
