Calliopsida cinnabarina (Berg, 1879)

Tettigades cinnabarina Berg 1879: 137 (type material examined).

Type locality. Mendoza, Argentina.

Remarks. The species was reported from Argentina and Chile with Argentine specimens recorded from Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Neuquén, Río Negro, San Juan, and Tucumán (Jacobi 1907a; Delétang 1919; Torres 1945b; 1958c). The record from Buenos Aires is suspect since there are no other data and the habitat in Buenos Aires province is significantly different than the mountainous western portion of the country from where the remaining records originate. We also found specimens from Catamarca in the IMLA.
