Saica apicalis Osborn & Drake, 1915 View in CoL
( Fig. 15 View Figure 14–17 )
Distribution. Argentina: Corrientes; Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, Guatemala and Panama ( Gil-Santana 2008).
Material examined. 1♀, Misiones, P.N. Iguazú, X-1980, PNI0110 ( MACN).
Remarks. First record for Misiones province.
This species can be distinguished by the general red coloration of the body and the hemelytra with three completely closed discal cells ( McAtee and Malloch 1923). The specimen we examine fits with the specific diagnosis given by McAtee and Malloch (1923) where the posterior pronotal spines are short and acute.
