Scarabaeidae : Aphodiinae

Martineziella excavaticollis (Blanchard, 1843)

= Euparia excavaticollis: Bucher 1974 :

ARGENTINA: Tucumán: Cañete, “La Soledad,” in nests ( Bucher 1974).

Note: Materials of Bucher (1974) are supposely deposited in the collection FIML, apparently identified by M.J. Viana. “ Euparia excavaticollis (Blanch.) ,” effectively identified by Viana, was also found in nests of Iridomyrmex humilis Mayr, 1868 [ Hymenoptera : Formicidae ] ( Viana & Williner 1981), presumably from Córdoba at El Sauce, Los Molinos, La Falda, and Cabana ( Viana & Williner 1981). The species was also cited from Catamarca, Tucumán, Santiago del Estero, Córdoba, and Buenos Aires ( Viana & Williner 1981, following Bruch). According to Chalumeau (1983), Myrmecaphodius excavaticollis , auctorum nec Blanchard, 1843, represents a new species named Martinezia dutertrei Chalumeau, 1983 , distributed across the USA, CUBA, BRAZIL, PARAGUAY, ARGENTINA [Salta: Tartagal, XI-1923, Harrington leg.; Chaco: “Resistencia Plaza,” XI-1945, Martinez leg., coll. Martínez; Buenos Aires: San Fernando, I-1956, I-1965, XI-1961, Daguerre leg.], and CHILE. The true Martinezia excavaticollis (Blanchard, 1843) [= Oxyomus excavaticollis Blanchard, 1843 . Voy. Amer. Mér., 6(2): 184] is distributed across BRAZIL, BOLIVIA, PARAGUAY, and ARGENTINA [Salta: I-1959, P. Dor. leg., coll. J. Daguerre 1968; Rosario de la Frontera, XII-1950, Daguerre leg.; General Ballivian, 1927, coll. G.L. Harrington; Corrientes: “ Province de Corrientes d'Orbigny 1834,” “TYPE,” “G. 29,” “5 62834” [circular label written downwards], “9,” “ excavati co llis BI.” [green label], “ Martinezia excavaticollis (BI.) Dés. F. Chalumeau' 80,” “ Holotype ” [pink label], MHNP] ( Chalumeau 1983). Chalumeau (1986) proposes Martineziella Chalumeau, 1986 as an objective replacement name for the preoccupied genus Martinezia Chalumeau, 1983 [non Bolivar, 1881], including Martineziella dutertrei Chalumeau, 1983 and Martineziella excavaticollis (Blanchard,1843) , among other species. As Martineziella was also preoccupied, it was later replaced by Martineziana nom. nov. ( Chalumeau & Özdikmen 2006). According to Wojcik (1990), M. dutertrei is a myrmecophilous species found in the United States with the ants Solenopsis geminata and Solenopsis xyloni (native species from the USA), and Solenopsis invicta and Solenopsis richteri (introduced in the USA), probably introduced in North America with one or more of the imported ant hosts. With this antecedent, there are the following posibilities: 1) the taxon given by Bucher (1974) corresponds to M. dutertrei , not being a strict myrmecophile because it was found also in a bird’s nest; 2) the identification as M. excavaticollis of the taxon given by Bucher (1974) is correct, and this species is up until now only found in birds’ nests; 3) the excavaticollis of Viana & Williner (1981) belongs to M. dutertrei , and M. dutertrei is a strict myrmecophile.

Note: Apparently specimens reared from P. lophotes were not sent to M. Couri for identification. According to Antoniazzi et al. (2010), “previous collections from the same area (De la Peña et al. 2004) and a subsample of the parasites submitted to M. Couri … suggest that the dominant species in this community is Philornis torquans (all the specimens collected in the area so far belonged to Phi. torquans ),” “the predominant (probably only) species in our system.” Because P. seguyi was reared in the same locality from other Furnariidae , Certhiaxis cinnamomea ( Couri et al. 2009) ,identification of P. torquans given by Antoniazzi et al. (2010) needs a further corroboration.

Note: This flea is a parasite mostly on Cyanoliseus patagonus patagonus [ Aves: Psittacidae ]. P. modesta was nidificating in the burrows made by the parrots ( Blank et al. 2007).

Hectopsylla psitacii Fraunfeld, 1860

ARGENTINA: Buenos Aires: Coronel Suarez, foot of the Sierra de la Ventana, 23-XII-1905, 3 eggs, 2 females, between the beak and the ear + 12 females, in the throat of a first bird, 2 females, in the throat of a second bird, 1 female, in the throat of a third bird, 1 female with 7 eggs in the throat, and other females in the base of the beak, and the throat of a fourth bird [+ two other birds without fleas] ( Wolffhügel 1910a); ( Wolffhügel 1910b 1911); Sierra de la Ventana, “estancia del Sr. Ricchieri,” 23-XII-1905 ( Wolffhügel 1912); Argentina ( Pinto 1930); ( Riet 1941, following Wolffhügel); ( Del Ponte & Riesel 1939); ( Johnson 1957, following Del Ponte & Riesel 1939); ( Capri & Capri 1959); ( Autino & Lareschi 1998).

Note 1: Sclater & Hudson (1887) use the name Progne furcata (= “Purple Martin”), which includes Progne elegans . Progne furcata is also used by Dabbene (1910) and Hudson (1920). The nomenclature of the birds’ names used by Wolffhügel (1910b 1912) follows the catalogue of Dabbene (1910).

Note 2: Probably by the ambiguity of the host name (“ Progne furcata ”) given by Wolffhügel (1910b 1912), Del Ponte & Riesel (1939) use both Alopochelidon fuscatus and Progne chalybea domestica for H. psittaci . These names are repeated by Costa Lima & Hathaway (1946), Johnson (1957), Capri & Capri (1959), and Autino & Lareschi (1998).

Note 3: Costa Lima & Hathaway (1946) uniquely mention Progne modesta elegans , but no posterior citation includes P. m. elegans as a host of H. psitacii .

Note 4: Because of the confusion of H. psittaci with Hectopsylla pulex, Del Ponte & Riesel (1939) add “ Promops perotis de la provincia de Tucumán ” after all bird hosts of H. psitacii , and this province is erroneously attributed to all hosts by Johnson (1957).

Tungidae

Hectopsylla psitacii Fraunfeld, 1860

PERU: Loreto: Hacienda Las Vegas, 30 km from Barranca city, 18 females, on swallows, a variety called “Santa Rosita” ( Jordan 1950), A. Macchiavello leg., 1 male, many females, # 1948.196 [ BMNH], in alcohol ( Hopkins & Rothschild 1953); Hacienda Las Vegas, 30 km from Barranca, ex swallows ( Johnson 1957, following Jordan 1950), 1943, 1 female [ BMNH], ex swallow “ variety called Santa Rosita” ( Hastriter & Méndez 2000).

Note: Johnson (1957) states that he also follows Macchiavello (1948) who do not mention swallows as hosts of H. psitacii .

ARGENTINA: Buenos Aires: Coronel Suarez, foot of the Sierra de la Ventana, 28-XII-1905, 1 female, 1 male, in the head of a bird ( Wolffhügel 1910a); ( Wolffhügel 1910b 1911); [apparently from Buenos Aires: Sierra de la Ventana], XII-1905, 1 male, 1 female ( Wolffhügel 1912); Argentina ( Pinto 1930); ( Del Ponte & Riesel 1939); ( Riet 1941, following Wolffhügel); ( Costa Lima & Hathaway 1946); ( Johnson 1957, following Del Ponte & Riesel 1939); ( Capri & Capri 1959); ( Autino & Lareschi 1998).

Note 1: Pinto (1930) also records H. psittaci on Diplochelidon cyanoleucus from Chile, but this record seems to be erroneus, although he cites “ Jordan e Rothschild. 1906. Thop. Yates & Johnston Lab. Rep. vol. VII part.I. p. 61.” [reference not found]

Note 2: After all bird hosts of H. psitacii, Del Ponte & Riesel (1939) add “ Promops perotis de la provincia de Tucumán,” and this province is erroneously attributed to all hosts by Johnson (1957).

ARGENTINA: Santa Fe: 31º 23’ 08’’ S, 60º 55’ 00’’ W, IX-2006 to III-2007 and IX-2007 to III-2008, 3.1 % infested from 32 examined nestlings in 11.1 % infested from 9 examined nests; maximal intensity 3 larvae /nestling ( Antoniazzi et al. 2010) GoogleMaps .

Note: Apparently specimens reared from A. badius were not sent to M. Couri for identification. Antoniazzi et al. (2010) assume that all birds in the area were parasitized, based on “previous collections from the same area (De la Peña et al. 2004 [sic]) and a subsample of the parasites submitted to M. Couri … suggest that the dominant species in this community is Philornis torquans (all the specimens collected in the area so far belonged to Phi. torquans ),” “the predominant (probably only) species in our system.” Because P. seguyi was reared in the same locality ( Couri et al. 2009), identification of P. torquans given by Antoniazzi et al. (2010) needs further corroboration.

[GUAYANE]: one adult fly and its puparium, C. Rangé, leg., labelled “Larve de Ver macaque. Du 31 janvier au février 1895. Éclosion de la Mouche” ( Blanchard 1896); ( Ribeiro 1901, following Blanchard 1896).

Note 1: After Blanchard wrote inquiring more data, he received on 2-VII-1895 a letter from C. Rangé, transcribed by Blanchard (1896) as follows: “La larve que vous avez reçue en avril, aprés sa transformation en Mouche, contenue dans un flacon sur lequel étaient inscrites les dates de son éducation (31 janvier au 11 février), cette larve a été recueillie sur un Oiseau, l’ Oriolus cayennensis , appelé encore Oiseau diable. Elle siégeait sur une plaie ou excoriation située au-dessous de la màchoire inférieure, et parallèlement au seus longitudinal du bec.”

Note 2: By the data sent to Blanchard, the pupal stage lasted aproximately 10-11 days (if the adult emerged at dawn of the 11th of February).

Note 3: The adult from Guayane was identified as P. pici by Blanchard with the description and figure given by Macquart (1853), although he states that this adult was different in some aspects.

Note: Apparently specimens reared from M. bonariensis were not sent to M. Couri for identification. Because P. torquans and P. seguyi are present in the area ( Couri et al. 2009), identification of P. torquans given by De la Peña et al. (2003) and Antoniazzi et al.
