Fadylia bruchi Delétang 1919: 93 .

Type locality. Catamarca Province, Argentina.

Remarks. The species was reported from Buenos Aires, Catamarca, La Rioja, and San Juan Provinces (Haupt 1918; Torres 1945a). The reference to Córdoba in Torres (1945a) is a mistake for Catamarca based on the specimen label. We collected specimens in Catamarca, La Rioja, San Juan, and San Luis Provinces. The species is associated with the Chaco and Monte floristic provinces (Sanborn et al. 2011a).

New provincial records. San Luis, 8 km W Rt. 79 on Rt . 20, 7-XII-1981, M.S. & J.E. Heath Coll. (eight males, MSHC) .
