HEMIPTERA

ARGENTINA: Salta: Departamento Rivadavia, Misión La Paz, 5-VIII-1970, A. Martínez leg., ex Col. Martínez, 4 exx. [DIOC].

Note: Martínez & Cichero (1972) say that T. delpontei is always found in parrots’ nests, and give T. delpontei as found near the River Pilcomayo, in front of Misión La Paz, referred as belonging to Paraguay in Di Iorio & Turienzo (2011b). Nevertheless, the specimens from the Col. A. Martínez were labelled from Salta, indicating that they were collected in the Argentinian margin of the River Pilcomayo. The general mention of T. delpontei in birds’ nests from Salta by Carcavallo et al. (1988) may correspond also to these materials.
