STRIGIDAE

Strix [ rufipes chacoensis Cherrie & Reichenberger, 1921 ] = Strix sp.: Mazza & Schreiber 1938; Hicks 1959; Bejarano 1967; Lent & Wygodzinsky 1979; Canale &

Carcavallo 1985; Noireau et al. 1997.

HEMIPTERA

Reduviidae : Triatominae

Triatoma infestans Klug in Meigen, 1834

Santa Fe: see Table 1; Fig. 5 ; ( Hicks 1959); (Bejarano 1967); ( Lent & Wygodzinsky 1979); ( Canale & Carcavallo 1985, following Mazza); ( Noireau et al. 1997, following Bejarano 1967).

Note: According to Olrog (1978), three species of Strix inhabit Argentina, Strix rufipes rufipes King, 1828 (Neuquén to Santa Cruz), Strix rufipes chacoensis (north to central Argentina), and Strix hylophila Temmninck, 1825 (Misiones, and eastern Formosa). With such distributions, the mention of Mazza & Schreiber (1938) may be attributed without doubt to Strix rufipes chacoensis . Noireau et al. (1997) said that the nest of a bird was inhabited by an owl, but the original record of Mazza & Schreiber (1938) is about a nest of an owl.
