ARAMBURU, Rosana M. e CAMPOS SOLDINI, María P.. Presence of Psitticimex uritui (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) in nests of brown cacholote Pseudoseisura lophotes (Passeriformes: Furnariidae). Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2008, vol.67, n.3-4, pp.131-133. ISSN 0373-5680.
Psitticimex uritui (Lent & Abalos), a typical bug parasite of "monk parakeets" Myiopsitta monachus Boddaert is recorded for the first time in nests of "brown cacholote" Pseudoseisura lophotes (Reichenbach) at Entre Ríos Province. Interaction among these bird populations, associated with nest adoption behavior by "monk parakeets", may explain the presence of the same cimicid species in both their nests. The low population of bugs in"brown cacholote" nests indicates that the "monk parakeets" are the original hosts.
