Distribution in Argentina.
Buenos Aires, Chubut, Formosa, La Rioja, Misiones, Neuquén, San Juan, and Santiago del Estero ( Lareschi et al. 2016).
Material examined.
None.
Additional records.
No specific locality, Cavia aperea Erxleben, 1 ♀ ( Smit 1987).
Remarks.
This species can be distinguished from the other species of Polygenis by the labial palp reaching the apex of fore coxa, the acetabular seta is below level of the upper margin of acetabulum in males; the posterior margin of sternum VII in females with a smaller lobe ( Smit 1987). The host was probably erroneously identified because C. aperea , a member of the family Caviidae , is not known to occur in La Rioja Province ( Patton et al. 2015). The only members of this family known to be present in La Rioja are Galea leucoblephara and Microcavia australis .
