Tettigades mexicana
Distant,
1881
.
The species has been reported from
Mexico
,
Arizona
, and
Argentina
(
Metcalf
1963
c
). However, the validity of the
type
location has been questioned and was called an error by
Torres (
1958
)
in his revision of the genus. All remaining members of the genus are found in
Chile
and
Argentina
(
Metcalf
1963
c
,
Duffels & van der Laan
1985
). Inclusion of the species in the Mexican fauna should be questioned until new specimens can be collected or specimens of
T. mexicana
are collected in another geographic location.
