Triatoma delpontei Romaña & Abalos, 1947 (Hemiptera, Triatominae) in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brasil

Resumo

Triatoma delpontei (Romaña & Abalos, 1947) (Hemiptera, Triatominae) is an ornithophilic sylvatic with a particular association to the psittacid Myiopsitta monachus (Boaddert, 1783). It is found in the continental biogeographical province of the Chaco, where it inhabits the nests or M.monachus, in subtropical xerophytic forests. The authors report the first finding of T. delpontei in Brasil, in the "campanha" region of the State or Rio Grande do Sul (Barra do Quarai, Uru-guaiana), on the right bank of the River Cuareim, not far from de Uruguayan border.
