Comments

Pall and Coscarón (2012) mentioned as new records Chaco and Jujuy provinces, although both had been recorded previously (Melo et al. 2011). They also listed Catamarca, Entre Ríos and La Pampa, which have never been mentioned in the literature, and there are no specimens from these locations in the collection they examined or in the other collections we examined.
