Acanthocrios
furnarii
has always been associated with the “hornero” [
Furnarius rufus
(Gmelin, 1788)
] in
Argentina
and
Uruguay
(
Turienzo &
Di
Iorio 2007
), but recently the bug was found in nests of
Hirundo rustica
[
erythrogaster
Boddaert, 1789],
Progne chalybea
[
domestica
(Vieillot, 1817)] (
Aramburú & Carpintero 2006
) and also
Progne elegans
Baird, 1865
[Aves:
Hirundinidae
] from Buenos Aires (
Carpintero & Aramburú 2007
). Swallows are probably the primary hosts of
Acanthocrios
furnarii
, and the bugs’ presence in such other nests as those of
Furnarius rufus
and
A. annumbi
, is probably due to nest parasitism by bird species (
Turienzo &
Di
Iorio 2007
).
Cimicidae
are known to remain for a long time in swallows´nests, and can go without feeding for prolonged periods when swallows abandon some nesting sites; sometimes during these times engorged bugs have been found with other animals that used the cliff swallow nests (
Loye 1985
). It is not known if
A. furnarii
can survive and form large colonies in the nests of birds other than swallows (
Table 1
).
