Distribution.
The species is endemic to a relatively small area of Buenos Aires Province,
Argentina
, not particularly close to the distribution of most other south-temperate pronophilines (
Fig. 29
).
Diagnosis
. Wing shape and general facies quite similar to
P. chiliensis
, and both were placed in the nowsynonymized genus
Etcheverrius
by
Lamas & Viloria (2004)
.
P. tandilensis
differs from
P. chiliensis
in being generally gray-brown on the ventral surface (
Fig. 10
D). There are dark, sinuate AM and PM bands on the HWV that separate a mottled brownish basal area from a lighter postmedial region. The whole hindwing is overlain by a ripple pattern. The forewing M1-M2 ocellus is oval and not pupillated.
Remarks
. This species was not available for detailed study.
