(Ptomaphagus), 1996: 539 comb.; Salgado, 2010c: 213 (assignment to group ascutellaris); Gnaspini & Peck, 2019: 46 (unassignment to group).

Holotype male in MACN.

Type locality: Sistema (Cueva) Cuchillo Cura, Neuquén Province, Argentina.

Distribution: Argentina: Neuquén Province: known only from type locality. Biology: Troglobite?

Note: Because of the uniqueness of the aedeagus, and because they avoided establishing monotypic species groups, Gnaspini & Peck, 2019: 46 decided not to assign it to a species group. We adopt this position.
