Remarks. Females collected in this study have measurements similar to those reported by McMurtry (1983) for the holotype . As reported by Noronha & Moraes (2002) for Brazilian populations, several of the setae of the specimens collected have highly variable lengths.

Remarks. No additional specimens of this species were found in this study. The only record of this species in Argentina was presented by Cunliffe & Baker (1953) , and it has never been reported from any other countries in South America . Given its considerable similarity with other species in this genus, it seems that the record of those authors for Argentina could represent a misidentification.
