Comments

Pall and Coscarón (2012) overlooked the distribution of J. parapectoralis in Argentina. Tsai et al. (2013) stated that the specimen photographed in Pall and Coscarón (2012) and identified as J. haematoloma may correspond to J. pectoralis Stål 1862 or J. parapectoralis Göllner-Scheiding 1979 . Pall and Coscarón (2012) studied only one specimen (the photographed one?) from the locality of Jose C. Paz in Buenos Aires province; unfortunately this identification was impossible to check because the specimen is not currently deposited in the MLP collection.
