Derotettix mendosensis
Berg 1882: 47
(
type
material examined).
Type
locality
.
Mendoza
,
Argentina
.
Remarks
. The species was reported from
Mendoza
and
Río Negro
Provinces (
Berg 1882
;
Torres 1945a
). The reference to
Buenos Aires
by
Metcalf (1963c)
was a mistake as
Berg (1882)
was referencing the location of the museum where one of the specimens he had examined was deposited. We collected specimens in
La Pampa
,
La Rioja
,
Mendoza
,
Neuquén
,
Rìo Negro
, and
San Juan
Provinces. We reported the species from
La Rioja
,
Rio Negro
and
San Juan
Provinces without localities (
Sanborn
et al.
2004
). The species is associated with the Monte floristic province (
Sanborn
et al.
2011a
).
