Note: Probably due to the confusion between Gymnetis hebraica , not Drapiez, 1820 [= G. bajula ] and the true G. hebraica , this last species was not previously mentioned from Argentina. Nevertheless, the citation of G. bajula from Corrientes ( Schenkling 1921) may correspond to G. hebraica , which is present in this province.
