Comments

Pall and Coscarón (2012) listed this species from Catamarca, Entre Ríos, La Pampa, Mendoza and Tucumán provinces, but they did not give a bibliographical record or a list of material examined from these provinces. They also mentioned new records from Buenos Aires and Entre Rios, but neither of them is new, as Buenos Aires had been already recorded by many authors, as demonstrated above, and there is no corresponding specimen in the collection they studied or the remaining collections we examined from Entre Ríos.
