Material studied: Buenos Aires: 1 Ψ Burzaco, Alte. Brown, VII.2005, on faeces, Mulieri leg. ( ANLIS); 1 ɗBurzaco, Alte. Brown, VI.2006, on faeces, Mulieri leg ( ANLIS).

Remarks: Good illustrations of male terminalia were provided by Lopes (1958) and Carvalho & Mello- Patiu (2008). Illustrations of the female terminalia can be found in Blanchard (1942b) and Lopes & Tibana (1982b).

Biology: In previous works, P. (E.) florencioi was described as an urban avoider species that is attracted to vertebrate carcasses or rotten animal tissues ( Linhares 1981; Dias et al. 1984 a, c; Mendes & Linhares 1993). This species showed higher abundance during winter in Belo Horizonte, Brazil ( Dias et al. 1984b). It is considered necrophagous and was successfully reared from rodent cadavers and rotten animal tissues ( Mendes & Linhares 1993; D’Almeida 1994).
