            <p> Parochodaeus
Nikolajev, 1995: 77
</p>
            <p>Type Species.</p>
            <p> Parochodaeus pectoralis (LeConte, 1868), by original designation. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p>This genus contains species with an elytral locking mechanism consisting of a bituberculate margin on the propygidium and dentate elytral apices.</p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Ochodaeidae :  Ochodaeinae . Form convex, ovate. Length: 2.6-9.1 mm. Width: 1.5-4.9 mm. Surface/Color: Dorsal surface of head, pronotum, and elytra setose; setae varying from short bristles to longer setae; setae erect or subdepressed. Color testaceous to dark castaneous, variable within species. Head: Clypeus varying from semicircular to subtrapezoidal, often sexually dimorphic in length (longer in females). Frontoclypeal suture indistinct but generally discernible. Frons simple or variably armed with tubercles, horns, or carinae. Mentum variable between species. Mandibles moderately large, externally rounded to angulate, visible beyond labrum in dorsal view. Labrum strongly projecting between mandibles, setose. Antenna with 10 antennomeres; 3- antennomere club nearly round, pubescent. Pronotum: Surface densely punctate, punctures fine to moderate, each with or without a distinct setigerous tubercle anteriorly; setae moderately long. Elytra: Striae (except sutural) not impressed, uniserially punctate; punctures moderate to large, moderately deep, round, lacking setae. Intervals tuberculate; tubercles fine to moderate, forming irregular rows, setigerous; setae variable in length. Legs: Protibia with 3 external teeth increasing in size distally; occasionally with apical internal tooth or  “thumb” produced beyond tarsal insertion. Metafemur usually simple with slightly produced rounded lobe, occasionally armed with 1 large tooth or several small, irregular teeth on dorsal or ventral posterior margin before apex. Metatibia form variable from slender and subcylindrical to broad and flattened. Abdomen: Stridulatory peg, if present, near anterolateral angle of propygidium (necessary to unlock elytron and depress abdomen to view). Propygidial margin with 2 tubercles on posterior margin. </p>
            <p>Composition.</p>
            <p> The genus  Parochodaeus currentlyconsists of 17 species known from the central Great Plains of the United States south to  Río Negro Province in Argentina (Paulsen 2007; Paulsen 2011). An additional seven species from Argentina are described in this paper, bringing the total number of species in the genus to 24. </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> The presence or absence of a stridulatory peg on the abdomen and the form of the mentum are extremely useful in determining species. The head armature of frontal horns, tubercles, and carinae are allometric, and, as such, extremely small specimens will still have the appropriate structure, albeit extremely reduced. In such cases, for example with exceptionally small  Parochodaeus campsognathus (Arrow), the other characters given should be used to confirm identification. </p>

            <p>Type material.</p>
            <p> Lectotype male (BMNH), pinned. Lectotype here designated to fix the concept to a single specimen from the original series. Original labels: a) "Argentina / Chaco / Wagner. / 1903-180."; b) ♀ (sic); c) "Ochodaeus / campsognathus, / Type / Arrow"; d) red-bordered circular  “TYPE” ; e) blue-bordered circular "SYN- / TYPE"; f) "[O. campsognathus / Arrow BM / Syntype 1]" / DET. / D.

            <p>Type locality.</p>
            <p>Argentina: Chaco.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p>The species is easily distinguished by its V-shaped frontal carina (Figs 3, 8), but in the smallest specimens the carinae can be almost obsolete. If necessary, the large, rectangular mentum with a complete, deep longitudinal furrow will confirm identification.</p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Length:4.6-9.1 mm. Width:2.5-4.9mm. Head: Surface roughened as pronotum, sparsely punctate. Frons with broad V-shaped carina medially (Fig. 3), pointing anteriorly. Clypeus trapezoidal, short in males (length equal to 1/4 width), longer in females (length equal to approximately 1/3 width); anterior margin thickened, elevated but indistinctly indicated. Labrum deeply emarginate. Mandibles angulate externally, larger males with external angulation strongly produced upward.  Mentum large, rectangular, with distinct longitudinal furrow for entire length. Pronotum: Form convex to strongly convex in larger individuals. Surface with densely tiled tubercles, tubercles moderate; surface between tubercles punctate; punctures fine. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles moderately long, erect. Legs: Protibia with apical spur weakly curved; internal apical tooth lacking. Metatrochanter simple. Metafemur with posterior margin simple. Metatibia straight, narrow (&gt;4  × longer than wide) expanding gradually to apex. Metatarsomere 1 not greatly enlarged. Abdomen:Stridulatory peg present. </p>
            <p>Distribution</p>
            <p>(Map 1). 153 specimens examined.</p>

            <p>Temporal distribution.January (16), February (16), March (10), April (3), October (1), November (6), December (25). No data (70).</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>Based on the collections examined, this is the most commonly collected species of ochodaeid in South America, and it is also the largest.</p>
            <p> The original description of Arrow (1904) mentioned six syntypes, although there are ten specimens with the appropriate Wagner labels in the Natural History Museum in London. There are two pairs, (2♂, 2♀), treated as syntypes by Carlson, who labeled them numbers 1-4. One male with a BMNH type label (Syntype #1 sensu Carlson) had the genitalia dissected by Carlson, and this specimen is chosen as the lectotype. The fourth specimen (  Carlson’s Syntype #4) labeled "Argentina / Rio las Garzas / E. Wagner. / 1907-384" is a female accessioned three years after  Arrow’s publication. Because this date is after the publication date, it is not clear that Arrow studied the specimen and its syntype status is questionable. </p>

            <p> Argentina: Buenos Aires and Santa  Fé . </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Males of  Parochodaeus cornutus (Fig. 9) are quickly distinguishable due to the two tubercles on the anterior clypeal margin. Females lack tubercles, but the simply tumid mentum combined with unarmed metatibiae will confirm identification when not associated with males. </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Length:5.7-8.0 mm. Width:2.8-4.0mm. Head: Surface variably roughened, tuberculate or not, sparsely punctate. Frons with 2 low tumosities. Clypeus semicircular, long (length equal to 1/2 width), anterior margin of males with an erect, horn-like tubercle on each end, margin between tubercles often indistinct; females lacking tubercles. Labrum emarginate. Mandibles rounded externally. Mentum tumid, lacking longitudinal furrow. Pronotum: Form convex, strongly so in males (declivous anteriorly). Surface tuberculate, tubercles moderate to large; surface between tubercles punctate; punctures moderate. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles short, erect.

            <p>This is one of only two species in Argentina with a large tooth at the apex of the metafemur (Fig. 4), and the tooth is present in both sexes. The species can be distinguished by the presence of that tooth and a frontal horn on the head (Fig. 10).</p>
            <p>Description, holotype male.</p>
            <p>Length:7.7 mm. Width:4.0mm. Head: Surface tuberculate, punctate; punctures moderate. Frons with central tubercle. Clypeus broadly rounded, narrow, short (length equal to 1/5 width); anterior margin thickened, produced anteriorly in both sexes. Labrum deeply emarginate. Mandibles weakly angulate externally. Mentum tumid, notched anteriorly. Pronotum: Form convex. Surface shiny, weakly tuberculate anteriorly, tubercles obsolete on disc; surface between tubercles punctate; punctures moderate. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles moderately long, decumbent. Legs: Protibia with apical spur weakly curved; internal apical tooth present; tooth short, acute. Metatrochanter simple. Metafemur with tooth on posterior margin before apex. Metatibia curved (in ventral view external margin rounded, internal margin sinuate), broad (at apex approximately as wide as mesofemur), expanding abruptly in basal third. Metatarsomere 1 not greatly enlarged. Abdomen:Stridulatory peg absent.</p>
            <p>Description, paratypes (n=6). Length:6.5-7.6 mm. Width:3.3-3.9 mm. Differs from holotype in the following external characters: Head: Females with clypeus longer, length equal to 1/4 width.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The specific epithet  ‘dentipes’ is from Latin dentis  “tooth” and pes "foot, leg", for the toothed metafemur, and is used a masculine adjective in the nominative singular. </p>

            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Parochodaeus jujuyus (Fig. 11) is the only Argentine species of the  Parochodaeus pectoralis group. Members of this species group have greatly enlarged first metatarsomeres (Fig. 5) and often have the mentum produced ventrally. </p>
            <p>Description, holotype male.</p>
            <p> Length:7.0 mm. Width:3.5mm. Head: Surface weakly tuberculate, shiny, punctate; punctures moderate, setose. Frons unarmed but with 2 indistinct tumosities. Clypeus broadly rounded, narrow, short (length equal to 1/4 width), margin thickened, produced anteriorly, as long as remainder of clypeus. Labrum emarginate. Mandibles rounded externally. Mentum deeply furrowed, produced downward laterally. Pronotum: Form convex. Surface with weakly tuberculate, setose punctures mixed with glabrous punctures; punctures moderate in size. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles moderately long, erect, somewhat abraded. Legs: Protibia with apical spur weakly curved; internal apical tooth absent. Metatrochanter simple. Metafemur with posterior margin simple. Metatibia slender, (~5  × longer than wide) gradually widening to apex. Metatarsomere 1 subrectangular (not cylindrical), greatly enlarged (longer than greatest width of metatibiae), weakly curved. Abdomen:Stridulatory peg present. </p>
            <p>Description, allotype female. Length:6.0 mm. Width:3.0 mm. Differs from male holotype in the following external characters: Head:Clypeus longer (length equal to 1/2 width); anterior margin not produced anteriorly. Elytra:Setae more abraded.</p>
            <p>Description, paratypes (n=2). Length:5.8-6.6 mm. Width:3.1-3.3 mm. Not differing significantly from the holotype except with dorsal vestiture less abraded.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The specific epithet  ‘jujuyus’ is an unconventional but euphonious Latinized form of the province name Jujuy, gender masculine. </p>
            <p>Distribution</p>
            <p>(Map 2). 4 specimens examined.</p>
            <p>ARGENTINA: JUJUY: Parque Nacional Calilegua El Cortaderal (1); SALTA: Campo Quijano (30 Km E) (2), Parque Nacional El Rey (1).</p>
            <p>Temporal distribution.</p>
            <p>February (3), December (1).</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This species is known from only four specimens and is from the far north of Argentina. The habitat in the region is montane forest. Label data indicates  that the paratypes were collected in flight-intercept traps, which is the most common method of collection for forest ochodaeids. </p>

            <p>Type locality.</p>
            <p> Argentina: Santiago del Estero:  Río Salado. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The species is similar to  Parochodaeus dentipes in that both species have a frontal  ‘horn’ and broad metatibiae.  Parochodaeus perplexus (Fig. 12) can be separated by its lack of a large tooth at the apex of the metafemur and by the flatter mentum. </p>
            <p>Description, holotype male.</p>
            <p>Length:6.9 mm. Width:3.8mm. Head: Surface tuberculate, punctate; punctures small. Frons with central horn-like tubercle; tubercle with apex U-shaped. Clypeus subtrapezoidal, narrow, short (length equal to 1/4 width); anterior margin not thickened, truncate. Labrum broadly emarginate. Mandibles angulate externally. Mentum flat, weakly concave anteriorly surrounding longitudinal furrow in anterior half. Pronotum: Form convex. Surface with densely tiled tubercles; tubercles small, setose; surface between tubercles punctate; punctures fine. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles short, erect. Legs: Protibia with apical spur weakly curved; internal apical tooth absent. Metatrochanter simple. Metafemur with posterior margin simple. Metatibia weakly curved (in ventral view external margin rounded, internal margin sinuate), broad (at apex approximately as wide as mesofemur), expanding abruptly in basal third. Metatarsomere 1 not greatly enlarged. Abdomen:Stridulatory peg absent.</p>
            <p> Description , paratypes.Length:5.0-7.9 mm. Width:2.9-4.2 mm. Differing from the holotype in the following external characters: Head: Female paratypes with clypeus longer, length equal to 1/3 width. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The specific epithet  ‘perplexus’ is Latin meaning "muddled, interwoven", because this species displays a mix of characters present in other species. The name also aptly represents how perplexed we were to find yet another new species from central Argentina. It is used a masculine adjective in the nominative singular. </p>
            <p>Distribution</p>
            <p>(Map 2). 10 specimens examined.</p>

            <p> Length:7.6 mm. Width:4.0mm. Head: Surface tuberculate, punctate; punctures small. Frons with horn. Clypeus subtrapezoidal, narrow, short (length equal to 1/4 width); anterior margin not thickened, truncate. Labrum broadly emarginate. Mandibles obtusely angulate at basal third. Mentum almost flat, weakly concave, declivous anteriorly, lacking longitudinal furrow. Pronotum:  Form strongly convex, declivous anteriorly. Surface densely tiled with tubercles; tubercles small, setose; surface between tubercles punctate; punctures fine. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles moderately long, erect. Legs: Protibia with apical spur weakly curved; internal apical tooth absent. Metatrochanter simple. Metafemur with posterior margin simple. Metatibia straight, moderately broad (at apex not as wide as mesofemur), gradually expanding to apex. Metatarsomere 1 not greatly enlarged. Abdomen:Stridulatory peg present. </p>

            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Parochodaeus proceripes (Fig. 14) is similar to  Parochodaeus phoxus in that it also has a large frontoclypeal horn, but the horn of this species is larger, more anterior, and is almost entirely located on the clypeus. The slender metatibiae are unique among horned species in Argentina. </p>
            <p>Description, holotype male.</p>
            <p> Length:8.1 mm. Width:4.2mm. Head: Surface shiny, weakly tuberculate, punctate; punctures small, sparse. Vertex with frontoclypeal horn (Fig. 2). Clypeus subtrapezoidal, long (length equal to 1/2 width); anterior margin not thickened, broadly rounded. Labrum broadly emarginate. Mandibles strongly angulate externally. Mentum with distinct longitudinal furrow for entire length. Pronotum: Form strongly convex, declivous anteriorly. Surface densely tiled with tubercles; tubercles moderate in size, setose; surface between tubercles punctate; punctures fine. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles short, erect. Legs: Protibia with apical spur curved externally; internal apical tooth absent. Metatrochanter simple. Metafemur  with posterior margin simple. Metatibia straight, slender (width approximately 1/5 length; Fig. 6), gradually expanding to apex. Metatarsomere 1 not greatly enlarged. Abdomen:Stridulatory peg present. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The specific epithet  ‘proceripes’ is derived from the Latin procerus "long, slender" and pes "foot, leg", referring to the slender metatibiae, which are unusual in species with a frontoclypeal horn. The name is used a masculine adjective in the nominative singular. </p>

            <p>Type locality.</p>
            <p>Argentina: La Pampa: General Acha.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Parochodaeus pudu (Fig. 15) is the only species of  Parochodaeus with two small horns on the vertex of the head (Fig. 1). Because of this, the species is immediately recognizable. In  Parochodaeus bituberculatus (Erichson) of Peru the frontal structures are not horn-like, being instead two short, transverse carinae. </p>
            <p>Description, holotype male.</p>
            <p>Length:7.2 mm. Width:3.8mm. Head: Surface shiny, roughened near eyes, punctate; punctures small. Frons with two horn-like tubercles on vertex. Clypeus long (length equal to 1/2 width), depressed basally, almost foveate; anterior margin semicircular, not thickened, often indistinct. Labrum subtruncate. Mandibles externally rounded. Mentum tumid, eroded anteriorly, lacking longitudinal furrow. Pronotum: Form strongly convex, not declivous anteriorly. Surface densely tiled with tubercles; tubercles small, setose; surface between tubercles punctate; punctures small. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles short, erect. Legs: Protibia with apical spur curved; internal apical tooth absent. Metatrochanter simple. Metafemur with posterior margin simple. Metatibia straight, slender (width approximately 1/5 length), gradually expanding to apex. Metatarsomere 1 not greatly enlarged. Abdomen:Stridulatory peg absent.</p>
            <p> Description , allotype female.Length:6.7 mm. Width:3.4 mm. Differs from male holotype in the following external characters: Pronotum:Form not as strongly convex. </p>
            <p> Description, paratypes(n=50). Length:5.1  -– 8.8 mm. Width:2.5-4.5 mm. Not differing significantly from the holotype and allotype in external characters. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The frontal horns are reminiscent of those found on  pudú , the small South American deer, Pudu puda (Molina). The name  ‘pudu’ is used as a masculine noun in the nominative singular. </p>
            <p>Distribution</p>
            <p>(Map 3). 52 specimens examined.</p>
            <p> ARGENTINA: BUENOS AIRES: Felipe  Solá (3); CATAMARCA: Caspichango (6), Famabalasto (1); Los  Ángeles (1);  CÓRDOBA : No locality (3); JUJUY: San Salvador de Jujuy (1), "Ciudad  Patología” (3); LA PAMPA: General Acha (23); LA RIOJA:  Huanchín (1), Santa Vera Cruz (2), Tegua (4); SALTA: Pocitos (1); SAN LUIS: Arizona- 18 Km S (1), San  Gerónimo (1);  TUCUMÁN : Las Cejas (1). </p>
            <p>Temporal distribution.</p>
            <p>January (1), February (6), March (26), April (8), May (4). No data (1).</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This species is relatively well represented in collections. It is surprising that such a distinctive species remained undescribed for so long. With the two small horns on the head it is immediately recognizable and cannot be confused with any  other species in the genus. The life history of the species is mostly unknown. Label data indicate that many specimens were collected at light traps, which at the very least infers a nocturnal habit for the species. </p>

            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Parochodaeus stupendus (Fig. 17) is the only species of  Parochodaeus to exhibit a doubly-toothed posterior margin on the metafemur. The tooth on the ventral surface is fairly common in ochodaeids, but the second tooth on the dorsal surface is unique. The toothed metatrochanter and strongly curved metatibiae (Fig. 7) are not found in any other species in  Argentina , or elsewhere. The strongly produced  ‘thumb’ (internal apical tooth) is also species specific. The female is unknown. </p>
            <p>Description, Holotype.</p>
            <p>Length:7.5 mm. Width:4.1 mm. Head: Surface tuberculate, tubercles moderately large, setose. Frons unarmed but indistinctly tumid medially. Clypeus evenly rounded, long (length equal to 1/2 width), margin thickened, produced anteriorly, declivous. Labrum emarginate. Mandibles rounded externally. Mentum tumid, not deeply furrowed. Antennal club strongly globose (Fig. 12). Pronotum: Form convex. Surface with moderately large, setose tubercles mixed with glabrous punctures; punctures moderate in size, sparse. Elytra: Setae of interstrial tubercles moderately long, erect, somewhat abraded. Legs: Protibia with apical spur strongly curved externally; internal apical tooth distinctly produced, subequal to basal protibial tooth in size. Metatrochanter with acute tooth. Metafemur with posterior margin acutely toothed on both dorsal and ventral surfaces. Metatibia strongly curved, slender, abruptly widening in distal third. Metatarsomere 1 not greatly enlarged. Abdomen:Stridulatory peg absent.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The specific epithet  ‘stupendus’ is Latin meaning "causing astonishment or wonder". With several autapomorphies not seen in other species of the genus,  Parochodaeus stupendus is arguably the most wondrous ochodaeid in the New World. The name is used a masculine adjective in the nominative singular. </p>
            <p>Distribution</p>
            <p>(Map 3).The species is known from a locality near the Bolivian border. 1 specimen examined.</p>
            <p> ARGENTINA: SALTA: San  Martín , Hito 1 (1). </p>
            <p>Temporal distribution</p>
            <p>.December (1).</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This species is known only from the holotype. Like  Parochodaeus jujuyus , it is from the far north of Argentina. It is probable that  Parochodaeus stupendus will be discovered in Bolivia  as well, especially because the name of the locality "Hito 1" is in reference to the  “hito” or boundary post that indicates the border between Argentina and Bolivia. </p>

            <p> Gauchodaeus Paulsen gen. n.</p>
            <p>Type species.</p>
            <p> Gauchodaeus patagonicus Paulsen &amp; Ocampo, here designated. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The only known species in  Gauchodaeus is an elongate ochodaeid with no elytral closing mechanism, and therefore can be quickly distinguished from the more globular  Parochodaeus species with dentate elytral apices and a bituberculate propygidium. The genus is most similar to the genus  Synochodaeus of southern Africa but is distinguished by the characters discussed above. </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Ochodaeidae :  Chaetocanthinae :  Synochodaeini . Form convex, elongate. Sexual dimorphism lacking. Color testaceous to light reddish brown. Length: 5.7-5.9 mm. Width: 2.5-2.7 mm. Head: Surface densely tuberculate/punctate, setose. Mentum strongly tumid, not longitudinally impressed. Labrum densely punctate/setose. Distal 2 labial palpomeres spherical or irregularly shaped (not cylindrical). Clypeus long (length =  ½ width), straight anteriorly, not reflexed. Frontoclypeal suture lacking distinct transverse sulcus. Mandibles relatively small, externally rounded, visible beyond labrum in dorsal view. Antenna with 10 antennomeres; 3-antennomere club oval, pubescent; first club antennomere neither strongly hemispherical nor enfolding distal antennomeres. Eyes large, somewhat bulging. Pronotum: Surface densely punctate, punctures moderate in size, with distinct anterior tubercle, setigerous; setae moderately long, testaceous. Margins beaded. Scutellum: Form weakly hastate with apex acute. Elytra: Striae (except sutural) not impressed, obsolete. Surface irregularly punctate; punctures moderate, each with small tubercle anteriorly, setigerous; setae dense, moderately long, testaceous. Legs: Protibia tridentate. Legs simple, unarmed. Mesotibial spur pectinate. Metatibia with large external carina in distal 1/3 long (extending&gt;  ½ width of tibia) but interrupted at middle. Metatibial spurs simple (possibly worn). Metatrochanter not acutely produced. Abdomen: Stridulatory peg absent. Propygidium short (length &lt;1/5 width), without elytral locking mechanism. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The name is formed from gaucho, a local word commonly used to describe residents of the pampas or Patagonian grasslands, in combination with the root Ochodaeus. It is masculine in gender.</p>
            <p>Composition.</p>
            <p>Only one species is known, herein described.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Nothing is known about the life history of these beetles, other than that they live in a rather inhospitable, arid part of  Neuquén Province. </p>

            <p> Gauchodaeus patagonicus Paulsen &amp; Ocampo sp. n. Fig. 17Map 4 </p>
            <p>Type material.</p>
            <p> Holotype male (IAZA), pinned. Original labels: a) "Piedra del  Águila / (131) 525 m. /  Neuquén - Argentina"; b) "7-II-92 / Leg. Mario Gentili"; c) on red paper "Gauchodaeus / patagonicus ♂ / Paulsen &amp; Ocampo / HOLOTYPE". Two paratypes (IAZA, MJPC) labeled as holotype. One paratype (CMNC) labeled: a) "Ea. Llamuco / (1100 M.S.N.M.) /  Neuquén - Arg."; b) "18-III-74 / LG. M. Gentili"; c) black-bordered "H. &amp; A. Howden / Collection / ex. A.  Martínez coll.". One paratype (IAZA) labeled: "14-I-80 / Leg. M. Gentili"; "Bajada Marucho / (870 m.s.n.m.) /  NEUQUÉN - ARG." All paratypes labeled: "Gauchodaeus / patagonicus / Paulsen &amp; Ocampo / PARATYPE" on yellow paper. </p>
            <p>Type locality.</p>
            <p> Argentina:  Neuquén : Piedra del  Águila . </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The elongate body of this species (Fig. 17) is unlike that any other South American ochodaeids, which are in a different subfamily. The pectinate mesotibial  spur , lack of propygidial tubercles, and simply rounded elytral apices will separate it from  Parochodaeus or any other scarabaeoids. </p>
            <p>Description, holotype male.</p>
            <p>Length:5.2 mm. Width:2.5 mm. Color: Reddish brown, shiny. Head: Surface tuberculate, punctate, with short setae increasing in length near eyes. Clypeus subtrapezoidal, long (length equal to 1/2 width). Mentum tumid. Pronotum: Surface punctate, tuberculate, tubercles small, setose. Elytra: Surface setose; setae moderately long, recumbent. Legs: Metafemur with posterior margin entire (not toothed in distal half). Abdomen:Stridulatory peg absent.</p>
            <p>Description, paratypes (n=4). Length:5.7- 5.9 mm. Width:2.5-2.7 mm. Specimens examined did not differ significantly from the holotype. The CMNC specimen lacks an abdomen.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The species is named for the region of Patagonia, where it is found. The name is used a masculine adjective in the nominative singular.</p>
            <p>Distribution</p>
            <p> (Map 4). ARGENTINA:  NEUQUÉN : Bajada Marucho (1); Estancia Llamuco (1); Piedra del  Águila (3). </p>
            <p>Temporal fistribution.</p>
            <p>January (1), February (3), March (1).</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This species is found in  Neuquén province. All known specimens were collected by Mario Gentili in a desolate and arid habitat. The method of collection is not indicated on the labels, but it is probable that the species is nocturnally active and attracted to light. </p>
