Treatment

Oncochelyna barrigai ( SOLERVICENS, 2004) ( Figs 15 View Figs 1-27 , 41 View Figs 28-43 , 71 View Fig 71 , 91 View Figs 90-96 )

Exochonotus barrigai SOLERVICENS 2004: 31.

Holotype: ♂. ARGENTINA, Prov. Córdoba, Cruz del Eje, I feb 1998, leg. J. E. Barriga ( MNNC). Allotype: Same locality as the holotype ( MNNC). Paratype: one specimen from Argentina, Provincia de Santiago del Estero, Añatuya ( JEBC). OPITZ 2017a: 73.

Diagnosis: The unicolorous characteristic (castaneous) of the elytral disc will distinguish these beetles from O. tuberculata.

Description: This species was adequately described and illustrated by SOLERVICENS (2004: 31). Additional characteristics involve: Antenna as in Fig. 15 View Figs 1-27 , pronotum as in Fig. 41 View Figs 28-43 , elytral asetiferous punctation striate, elytral 2° setae prominent, epipleural margin serrulate at elytral distal 1/4 th, and habitus as in Fig. 91. View Figs 90-96

Variation: Size: Length 4.0-5.0 mm; width 1.3-2.0 mm. Other than body size, the available specimens were quite homogeneous.

Distribution ( Fig.71 View Fig 71 ): In addition to the holotype and allotype, I examined 2 specimens from: Argentina: Provincia de Tucumản, Departamento de Burruyacủ, 7 de Abril, 14-27-I-1981, R. Golbach. Specimens are deposited in IMLA, JEBC, MNNC, and WOPC.
