Tainarys schini Brèthes, 1920: 133 View in CoL .

Material examined. Argentina: 7 ♂, 6 ♀, 1 immature, Buenos Aires, Rauch , 2.v. 2 0 0 2, Schinus longifolia (A. M.

Vincini) (NHMB, dry and slide mounted, in 70% ethanol); 1 ♂, 19 immatures, same but Ranchos , Schinus longifolia ( NHMB, dry and slide mounted, in 70% ethanol).— Uruguay : 1 ♀, Salto, 10 km N of Salto, near Uruguay river, 22.x.1973 (D. H. Habeck) ( FSCA, dry mounted).

Descriptions of adult and immature by Burckhardt (1987).

Distribution. Argentina (Buenos Aires), Uruguay (Montevideo, Salto) ( Brèthes 1920; Lizer 1943; Burckhardt 1987; Burckhardt & Basset 2000).

Host plant. Schinus longifolia (Lindl.) Speg. (Anacardiaceae) (reported as Molle de Incienso, Schinus dependens Ortega , S. fasciculata (Griseb.) I.M. Johnst. or S polygama (Cav.) Cabrera ). Producing barrel-shaped leaf margin rolls ( Brèthes 1920; Lizer 1943; Lizer & Molle 1945; Burckhardt & Basset 2000). The taxonomy of Schinus polygama is confused and the name was used in the literature for several Schinus species. True S. polygama occurs in Chile and Argentina (Mendoza) and is replaced in eastern Argentina and Uruguay by other species such as S. longifolia (C. L. da Silva, pers. comm.). Judging from the illustration the S. dependens cited by Brèthes (1920) is S. longifolia . It is likely that T. schini also uses other Schinus species as host but more field work is required to confirm this.

Comments. The records of Tainarys schini from Uruguay (Rocha) by Burckhardt & Basset (2000) and from Brazil (Santa Catarina) by Burckhardt & Queiroz (2012) are misidentifications of T. didyma .
