Triatoma sordida garciabesi + Triatoma infestans + Triatoma eratyrusiforme + Triatoma platensis

ARGENTINA: Mendoza: Tres Porteñas, I-1937, 1 female T. s. garciabesi # 43004 [ MEPRA], in a chicken coop (Mazza 1937) + T. infestans (Mazza 1937) + 1 male T. eratyrusiforme # 43004 [ MEPRA], in a chicken coop ( Mazza & Jorg 1937) + 4 exx. T. platensis # 43004 [ MEPRA], in a chicken coop (Mazza & Jorg 1938).

Note 1: The species were treated in different works, and nothing is said about its co-inhabitation. Mazza (1937) states that the specimen of T. s. garciabesi was mixed among others of T. infestans in the same chicken coop, but the number of T. infestans was not stated and/or treated in other work. The same number given to all specimens in the collection MEPRA probably indicates that they were provenient from the same chicken coop.

Note 2: Abalos & Wygodzinsky (1951) attributes the record of T. eratyrusiforme to Mazza (1937) but the real citation is Mazza & Jorg (1937).

Note 3: all posterior records of T. eratyrusiforme “in chicken coops” [when in reality it was a single chicken coop] are based in the first of Mazza & Jorg (1937): Abalos & Wygodzinsky (1951, following Mazza [& Jorg] 1937); Abalos & Wygodzinsky (1956); Wygodzinsky & Abalos (1959, following Abalos & Wygodzinsky 1951); Traversa (after 1960, following Abalos & Wygodzinsky 1951); Martínez & Cichero (1972); Carcavallo et al.
