Megaphragma View in CoL View at ENA sp. A

We have seen a single female of what probably represents an undescribed species, but prefer not to describe it until more material is available to assess variation. The primary feature that differentiates this female from other Neotropical Megaphragma is its long (three times as long as wide) and cylindrical funicle segment, similar to that of M. polychaetum Lin (1992, fig. 3B) .

Material examined. ARGENTINA. Salta Pr., Orán rd., to San Andres along Rio Blanco; 399 m, 23.09°S, 63.37°W, sweep; 22.iii.2003; J. Munro coll. [1 Ƥ, UCR].
