Distribution. ARGENTINA: Catamarca, Córdoba, Mendoza, Neuquén, Rio Negro, San Juan and Salta. This species occurs along the Monte phytogeographical province, from Salta to Rio Negro (Genise 1984). New record. ARGENTINA. Córdoba (see comments below).

Comments. The specimen designated herein as neotype of Stenocolletes pictus is deposited at MLP and has the following label data: Salto, Córd. [=Córdoba], 3.XII.1942 [rectangular handwritten label] // Plesiotipus Stenocolletes pictus Schrottky 3 [handwritten] Det. A. Ogloblin // NEOTYPE Stenocolletes pictus Schrottky des. M. Lucia, L. J. Alvarez, V. H. Gonzalez & A. H. Abrahamovich 2013 [red rectangular label].

Brèthes (1913: 109) described Plesiomorpha albinervis from a single female specimen, as he explicitly indicated in the original description. Thus, such a specimen is the unique type because no other specimens are mentioned in the original description and Genise’s (1984: 205) designation of this specimen as lectotype is not necessary.
