Material examined.
Holotype
♂
and
1♂
paratype
from
Argentina
,
Tucuman Province
,
Horco Molle
,
700 m
,

Adult habitus.
General color pale yellow brown. Head with brown lappets and a diffuse spot forward of ocelli and a pair of small diffuse spots between lappets. Pronotum mostly brown but with pale lateral margins, a pale median band on the anterior half of the disk and a pale area incorporated within dark region in center of disk (
Fig. 5
). Legs pale brown except for narrow dark brown band on distal end of femora. Wings pale, transparent; veins pale amber except for C and R veins which are very pale.
Male.
Forewing length
12-14 mm
. Hammer a low, almost transparent bubble-like structure (
Fig. 6
). Aedeagal apex simple, but slightly offset from shoulders by a subtle notch (
Figs. 7-9
); a pair of small membranous lobes occur on the posterior margins of the apical area and an inverted Y-shaped keel with long stalk occurs on the dorsum. In lateral aspect the sclerotized area bulges slightly and is offset from the pale keel. Hooks slender (
Figs. 7, 9
).
Female.

Etymology.
The species name, used as a noun in apposition, is based on
the Argentine
province in which the
type
specimens were collected.
Diagnosis.
Only three
Anacroneuria
species
are currently known from the neighboring province of
Salta
[
A. arrazayalensis
Orce
(
Orce 2003
);
A. marshalli
Stark
(
Stark 2007
);
A. saltensis
Froehlich
(
Froehlich 2002
)] and only
A. reedi
(Navás) (
Navás 1919
)
, a species whose identity is in question (
Illies 1966
), has been reported from
Tucuman Province
. The aedeagus of the new species is generally similar to that of
A. saltensis
but the keel in that species consists of a pair of parallel lines, the apex is not offset from the shoulders and the hammer is thimble shaped.
Several other Andean species, such as
A. pachacuti
Stark & Sivec, 1998
have similar aedeagal shape and features but none have the combination of a slightly offset apex, a Y-shaped keel and the low bubble-like hammer found in
A. tucuman
.
