Comments. The specimens were identified as Eucoleus by the morphological characters mentioned above and even though the material collected was not well conserved to allow identification at species level. This species differs from Eucoleus sp. (1) as to the presence of a single bacillary band and the length of the spicule, among other morphometric features.

This is the first record of the genus Eucoleus sp. (2) in Brucepattersonius sp. and the third record for Argentina ( Robles et al. 2008).
