This species is here newly recorded from Brazil, based on a comparison of the apterae listed below with the original description. The species was described from Argentina on apterous and macropterous individuals. The male has pore plates on sternites III–VIII, and their presence on VIII as well as their strongly curved shape differ from the condition found in any other member of the genus.

NEW RECORD. Brazil: Rio Grande do Sul, Eldorado do Sul (30°5'31"S, 51°40'19"W), 3 females, 1 male collected in pitfall traps, 17.ix.2009 (L.R. Podgaiski).
