Anoplius (Dicranoplius) pampero ( Evans, 1969)

Dicranoplius pampero Evans, 1969 , Studia Ent., 12: 398–399 [Holotype: ♂, Argentina: Conesa , Rio Negro, Jan. 1954 ( MSUC)].

Diagnosis. In A. pampero , both sexes also have a black head and mesosoma with reddish orange metasoma, but the females lack the black and silver setae forming an obvious pattern, which is found in the males ( Figs. 2 d,e). The female has three comb spines and the last metasomal tergum has thin setae. The aedeagus is much shorter than the parapenial lobes and has a simple, weakly sclerotized, apex in A. pampero (Fig. 12 in Evans (1969)).

Distribution. Argentina.

Remarks. The holotype and allotype were studied. No new material of this species was studied.
