Tettigades lebruni Distant, 1906

Tettigades lebruni Distant 1906c: 385 (type material examined).

Type locality. Santa Cruz , Argentina.

Remarks. The species was assigned to a new genus by Delétang (1919) but he had confused Distant’s taxon with Haupt’s taxon as described under the treatment for Odopoea signata rev. stat., comb. n. Tettigades lebruni was considered a distinct species again by Torres (1958a). The species is restricted to Argentina with specimens reported from Mendoza, Neuquén and Santa Cruz Provinces ( Torres 1958a; 1959). The references to Catamarca and La Rioja by Delétang (1919) are not considered to be referencing this taxon but Odopoea signata . We collected specimens in Mendoza and Neuquén Provinces. The species is associated with the Monte and Patagonian floristic provinces ( Sanborn et al. 2011a).
