Triatoma infestans
Klug
in Meigen, 1834
Note:
Dinelli (1941)
cites several specimens of
T. infestans
he killed when he camped under a tree of
Prosopis nigra
Griseb.
in Tucumán, and attributes the population reduction of this bird, whose nests are constructed in big trees, because of the high population density of Triatomas living in large trees far away of any other human habitations. He doesn´t mention whether the
Prosopis
tree had nests. Although this is a supposition, without corroboration of the author, it is coincident with later occurrences of
T. infestans
in wild ecotopes (birds´nests) (
Carpintero 1986
;
Cichero 1975
; Viana & Carpintero 1977), and other non specified
Triatominae
in nests of
Tyrannidae
