Synonymy. A comparative analysis of specimens of Dryinus striatus with literature descriptions suggests that D. argentinus Olmi 1984 might be a junior synonym of D. striatus . The specimens examined from Caxiuanã seem to be distinct for these two species. For discussion and differences, see comments for D. argentinus .
