Described from an unspecified number of specimens from Patagonia (Argentina).

Rio Santa Cruz [Santa Cruz province, Argentina]. See Remarks.

MACN.

A male syntype included in the Burmeister collection with a green label with the inscription “Patag[onia]” and a red label with the inscription "Lectotype ♂ Antarctia severa Berg designated by Beccacece, Vincent & Navarro." We hereby designate it as lectotype [MACN]. It is in quite good condition, although both tips of the antennae are broken (Fig. 16). We designate one paralectotype, a female specimen with a green label with the inscription “Patag[onia].” It is in moderate to good condition with no antennae, a torn inner base of the left hindwing and a small piece missing from the termen of the right hindwing.

Remarks.

Burmeister (1878) indicated the collecting locality of the type specimens more precisely: "Berg discovered this species from Rio Santa Cruz in South Patagonia."
