Argentinean distribution

Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Córdoba, Corrientes, Jujuy, Mendoza, Misiones, Salta, Santiago del Estero and Tucumán.

Central and South American distribution

Argentina ( Berg 1878), Puerto Rico and West Indies (St. Croix, Culebra, St. John and St. Thomas) ( Göllner-Scheiding 1979, 1983).

Comments

Pall and Coscarón (2012) referred to Corrientes and Mendoza as new records, but both had been previously mentioned by Berg (1878) and many other authors. Other new records they provide are La Pampa, Mendoza and Río Negro, but there is no specimen in the MLP collection from these provinces, or in any of the collections studied. Moreover, they mentioned the species from Formosa, San Luis and Santa Fe, but these distributions are not mentioned in the literature and there is no material from these provinces in any of the collections studied.

Remarks

According to Göllner-Scheiding (1979), this species has been extensively confused with J. choprai , and is restricted to the Caribbean Islands; nevertheless, we have found many specimens of J. sanguinolenta from Argentina.
