TYPE LOCALITY: “ Buenos Aires [Buenos Aires ( Argentina)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype, 1 specimen, syntype (sex not determinable, abdomen mostly covered with mold, missing left hind-leg) ( MZUF: Box 71): Dilophus similis Rnd., Amer. M. [= South America] / [no identification number] .

CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Hardy 1966a: 11).

REMARKS: Rondani (1868b: 40) described Dilophus similis , without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens, from material received from P. Strobel. We found two syntypes in this study. Rondani (1868b) indicated the type locality as Buenos Aires ( Argentina) where Strobel taught from 1865–1867, but the specimens are labeled “ Am. Mer.” (= “ America Meridionali ”) [South America].
