Remarks
: The identity of this species was determined in two ways. Male specimens obtained by authors were dissected. In all cases the adeagal morphology agrees with that of
N. cyaneiventris
(
Lopes 1936b
)
. In addition, the examination of the terminalia of females captured by authors and the female
holotype
of
Sarcohelicobia elegans
Blanchard
deposited in MACN, showed similar morphology of sternites 6, 7, and 8 with descriptions made by
Mello-Patiu & Santos (2001)
for
N. cyaneiventris
.
Biology
:
Mulieri
et al
. (2008)
commented on the strong association of this species with woodlands on the coastline of Río de la Plata, Buenos Aires. We captured this species on faeces.
