Phasianidae

Description

PHASIANIDAE

Gallus gallus (Linnaeus, 1758)

HEMIPTERA: Reduviidae

Triatoma infestans Klug in Meigen, 1834

ARGENTINA: Chaco: Lote 14, between San Bernardo and Villa Berthet, II-1980, Di Iorio leg., 2 n III, 146 n IV+V, 294 adults [DIOC], in one chicken house of piled bricks and metal roof.

Triatoma patagonica Del Ponte, 1929

ARGENTINA: Córdoba: Cruz del Eje, 5-XII-1969, ex Col. A. Martínez, 10 exx. [DIOC], in chicken house; San Luis: [without locality], 5-II-1969, Hernández leg., ex Col. A. Martínez, 3 exx. [DIOC], in chicken house.

Note: Original records prior to Abalos & Wygodzinsky (1956) were not found in literature (see Di Iorio & Turienzo 2011a), but these specimens in the Col. Martínez probably are related to the mention of T. patagonica in chicken coops made by Martínez & Cichero (1972), Martínez et al. (1985) and Carcavallo et al. (1988), whose localities were not mentioned.
