Buenos Aires , SantaFe and Entre Rios Provinces , Argentina and Uruguay . Remarks . This species can be found in large numbers. We have determined that it is endothermic ( Sanborn et al. 1995a ). The two nomina nuda listed by Delétang (1919) are considered to be part of the nominotypical species as no formal description was provided for the varieties and because we have found variability in the coloration patterns and size within individual populations. The species has a wide distribution within the Chaco and Espinal floristic provinces ( Sanborn et al. 2011a ). It was reported from Buenos Aires, Chaco, Córdoba, Corrientes, Entre Rios, La Pampa, Misiones, Salta, San Luis, Santa Fe, Santiago del Estero, and Tucumán Provinces ( Berg 1879 ; Hayward 1942 ; Torres 1946 ; Hayward 1960 ; Sanborn et al. 1995b ; Bolcatto et al. 2006 ; De Santis et al. 2007 ). We collected specimens in Catamarca, Chaco, Córdoba, Entre Rios, Formosa, Misiones, Salta, San Luis, Santiago del Estero, and Tucumán Provinces. The species has also been reported from Brazil and Paraguay ( Metcalf 1963a ; Duffels & van der Laan 1985 ; Sanborn 2011a). The reference to a specimen from Guyana ( Uhler 1903 ) is considered erroneous as the habitat is different and the specimens were described as being larger than Fidicina mannifera which is not the case for G. bonaerensis . The species is endothermic regulating its body temperature through endogenous heat production ( Sanborn et al. 1995b ). New provincial records. Prov.
