Remarks. This species was described based on a single specimen from Bolivia ( Santa Cruz). Blanchard (1847) did not indicate the sex of the holotype. However, based on the original description and figure, it is a male, as supposed by Martins (2005) and formalized in Monné (2024a) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2023).

Currently, it is known from Brazil ( Goiás and Mato Grosso), Bolivia ( Santa Cruz, Tarija), Paraguay, Argentina ( Catamarca, La Rioja, Santiago del Estero, Córdoba, Mendoza, and Buenos Aires), and Uruguay ( Monné 2024a; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2023).
