Redescription of Horavthinia pelocoroides Montandon

Size. Length. ♂♂: 23–28 mm, ♀♀: 25–30 mm; width: ♂♂: 13–16 mm; ♀♀: 14–16 mm.

Color. Brown, or mottled yellow and brown.

Distribution. Northeastern Argentina, southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia. We regard the label legend “ Chubut ” for H. doellojuradoi (Holotype ♀) as erroneous because Chubut is a southern Patagonian province of Argentina and Horvathinia is a subtropical taxon.
