Breyer Collection , 2 exx. [ MACN ] ; 1 ex. [ MACN ], labeled “ Gymnetis / flavomarginata / Blanch. R.A.A.M. col.”; 1 ex. [ MACN ], labeled “ Gymnetis / flavomarginata / Blnch. / Dr. Dallas determ.” . Male genitalia: parameres ( Fig. 38 ). Note 1 : Burmeister (1861 , 1943 ) mentions that he found “the G. flavormarginata Bl. D’Orb. from Corrientes in Santiago ” (translated from Spanish). This specimen belongs to G. bouvieri . Note 2 : Burmeister (1861 , 1943 ) also mentioned that he found in Catamarca , “other similar (to G. flavomarginata Blanchard, [1842] ) but different and smaller” (translated from Spanish). In 1866, Burmeister gave a brief description of this insect as a variety of G. flavomarginata : “a minor variety, instead of the eight big spots of pure yellow color, it has eight small orange spots, which are neither confluent nor prolongued in teeth” ( Fig. 30 ). The male genitalia of one of these specimens is identical to typical G. bouvieri from Santiago del Estero ( Fig. 38 ). Note 3 : Lists of publications by Dallas were given by Pirán (1946 , 1954 ) and De Santis (1992) . Apparently Gymnetis pudibunda var. minor was not published. Therefore, the specimen at MLPA is not a type specimen. Note 4 : In two specimens from La Rioja (Breyer Collection), the internal margin of the yellow elytral band is straight and parallel to the elytral margin. Note 5 : Antoine (2001) mentioned six males from Pozo La Gringa ( Chaco ), comprising 1 ex. of the typical form, 3 exx. with reduced spots on the elytra, and 2 exx. without spots.
