Pall and Coscarón (2012) mentioned Buenos Aires and Corrientes, but they did not give a bibliographical reference or a list of material from these provinces. They did not mention Mexico in the distribution of the species, and they misspelled a locality in Misiones province as ‘ Caraguay ’ instead of ‘ Caraguatay ’.
