Claps & Rossi (1997) Record numbers: Argentina : 2, Bolivia : 3, Uruguay : 1; total: 6. Remarks: This species has a disjunct distribution ( McInnes 1994a ) suggesting the need for further taxonomic analysis, especially in the light of numerous recently described new Doryphoribius species. Also, Doryphoribius zappalai was originally described from a riverine habitat and the majority of South American records are terrestrial (see Degma et al. 2009–2014 and key in Michalczyk & Kaczmarek 2010).
