Nephochaetopterix cyaneiventris Lopes, 1936b: 86 .

Sarcohelicobia elegans Blanchard, 1939: 795 View in CoL . Syn. nov.

Distribution: Neotropical – Argentina (Buenos Aires, Misiones), Brazil (São Paulo).

Type material examined: Holotype Ψof Sarcohelicobia elegans Blanchard , Misiones, 1936, Bosq leg.

Other material studied: Buenos Aires: 1 ɗ, 2 Ψ Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur, Ciud. Aut. Buenos Aires, III.2004 on faeces, Mulieri leg. ( ANLIS); 3 ɗ Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur, Ciud. Aut. Buenos Aires, III.2004, Mariluis leg. ( ANLIS); 1 Ψ Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur, Ciud. Aut. Buenos Aires, 24.V.2007 on faeces, Patitucci leg. ( ANLIS).

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.
