Derotettix mendosensis Berg 1882: 47 View in CoL (type material examined).

Type locality. Mendoza, Argentina.

Remarks. The species was reported from Mendoza and Río Negro Provinces ( Berg 1882; Torres 1945a). The reference to Buenos Aires by Metcalf (1963c) was a mistake as Berg (1882) was referencing the location of the museum where one of the specimens he had examined was deposited. We collected specimens in La Pampa, La Rioja, Mendoza, Neuquén, Rìo Negro, and San Juan Provinces. We reported the species from La Rioja, Rio Negro and San Juan Provinces without localities ( Sanborn et al. 2004). The species is associated with the Monte floristic province ( Sanborn et al. 2011a).
