Types. of huanacina: 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀ syntypes. ♂: PERU / Maracapata; F. Forster / Collection; Argia / huanacina Forster TYPE ♂ / 1914. Beitrage Gatt. u. Art. Lib. / (III) Arch. Nat.

The original envelope next to the first (pinned) syntype has the following in Forster's hand: M. [in red ink] Argia ♀ [sic, in pencil], huanacina / ♀. An added notation by L. K. Gloyd states: ♂ was in this / envelope. L.K. Gloyd 1933. On the other side of the envelope is the following in Förster's hand: ♂ [undecipherable] M / [undecipherable] III / [undecipherable letters] (examined; Garrison et al. 2003: 31).

Specimens examined (only those from Ecuador listed). 1 ♂, Zamora-Chinchipe Prov.: stream, north side of Guaguayme Bajo (3°54'30" S, 78°52'12" W), 2008 April 4, K. J. Tennessen leg. [FSCA] .

Remarks: This species was treated and illustrated in Garrison & von Ellenrieder (2015). von Ellenrieder & Garrison (2007) followed by Heckman (2008) illustrated the appendages of a male in the RBINS with the manuscript name " lateralis " by Selys as A. huanacina . This is incorrect. Subsequent examination of these specimens showed the manuscript name lateralis Selys to represent A. infrequentula as can be seen by comparing Figs. 6 l-n from von Ellenrieder & Garrison (2007) and Fig. 3.1. 427 in Heckman (2008) to Figs. 10 l 2 and 10 p 2 in Garrison & von Ellenrieder (2015).

This species is most similar to A. selysi and is diagnosed under that species. Though largely allopatric with A. selysi, a male A. huanacina has been collected in southern Ecuador (Fig. 140) representing a new record for that country.
