(
type
material examined).
Type locality
. The
holotype
male was described without locality data.
Remarks
. The species is known only from
Argentina
(
Metcalf 1963c
).
Torres (1942)
lists an
allotype
(sic) male collected at “Pampa Central”.
Metcalf (1963c)
took this to mean
La Pampa Province
but the Pampas floristic province extends over several provinces (
Cabrera 1971
;
Sanborn
et al.
2011a
). Specific location data were provided by
Torres (1948b)
with specimens being reported from Córdoba and
Mendoza
Provinces. We collected specimens in
Mendoza Province
. We found the species associated with the Monte floristic province (
Sanborn
et al.
2011a
) suggesting the “
allotype
” was collected on the western edge of the “Central Pampa” and not in
La Pampa Province
.
