Addenda to the insects found in birds’ nests from the Neotropical Region and Neotropical immigrants in the Nearctic Region, with a discussion of the probable transmission mechanism of Ornithocoris toledoi (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)

Abstract

The present work adds some records to the insect fauna in birds’ nests from the Neotropical Region and Neotropical immigrants in the Nearctic Region. Unpublished records of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) prior to 2005 are included here, especially the localities of some specimens from the collection of Antonio Martínez. According to new data recently published, the probable transmission mechanism of Ornithocoris toledoi (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) is presented here and discussed.
