Banyallarga argentinica Flint

( Fig. 4A )

Banyallarga argentinica Flint 1983: 77 [Type locality: Argentina: Pcia. Salta, Cañada la Gotera, Rt. 59, km 23.5, 16–7 Oct 1973, O.S. Flint, Jr. USNM Type 100550; MNMH; male]; Flint & Angrisano 1985 [larva, pupa, biology]; Prather 2004: 13 [redescription of male and female; review of the genus].

The association of the female of this species was tentative ( Prather 2004). The adult male can be differentiated from other species by the apex of tergum X which is truncated ( Fig. 4A : tx). The immature stages of Banyallarga argentinica were associated by Flint and Angrisano (1985); this is still the only species of Banyallarga for which the larva has been associated and described. In their paper, some biological aspects of the larva were considered and differences with Phylloicus were reviewed. In this paper, this species is recorded for the first time from Bolivia.

Distribution. Argentina (Catamarca, Jujuy, Tucumán, Salta, Formosa), Bolivia (New country record), Perú.
