Type material ( MACN): lectotype, paralectotype and 17 specimens, all male imagos from Argentina: Buenos Aires, XII-1916, A. Zotta col.

Discussion and diagnosis. this species known only from males was redescribed by Domínguez (1987). It constitutes the most Southern record of the genus. Illustrations of furcasternal protuberances ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 24 – 30 ) and genitalia ( Figs. 24, 26–30 View FIGURES 24 – 30 ) are given. Male imagos can be separated from all other species of the genus by: 1) fore wing length 12.0– 12.5 mm; 2) parastyli at least 1.5 times length of its base, slightly becoming thinner towards the apex ( Figs. 28–30 View FIGURES 24 – 30 ); and 3) fused basal portion of penes relatively thin, distal portions not expanded ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 24 – 30 ), becoming thinner toward apex ( Figs. 26–27 View FIGURES 24 – 30 ).
