Holotype : male, Colombia (MZPW), not studied. Gerstaeckerella salonii Navás, 1912 ; Williner & Kormilev 1958 : 15 (syn.). Gerstaeckerella anchietai Navás, 1930 ; Penny & da Costa 1983 : 637 (syn.). Remarks. Enderlein (1910) described this species from Rio Claro ( Colombia ), probably from Antioquia. Penny (1982a) and Penny & da Costa (1983) indicate that the record of G. gigantea in Colombia is probably erroneous, because it is the only known outside of southern South America . Salazar (2001) reported P. hagenella as G. gigantea in Antioquia. In this paper we consider that this record must be corroborated. Distribution. Argentina , Brazil , Colombia , Paraguay .
