Alarcta bahiensis (Torres, 1942)

Tettigades bahiensis Torres 1942: 256 (type material examined).

Type locality. The holotype male does not have a locality label. However, an allotype (sic) male and the paratype males were all collected at Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Since there is no mention of a female specimen in the description, the listing of an allotype is considered a lapsus calami. The type locality is thus Bahia Blanca.

Remarks. The species has only been reported from the type locality in Buenos Aires Province (Torres 1942; 1958d). We collected specimens in Buenos Aires, Chubut, and Neuquén Provinces. The species is associated with the Espinal, Monte, and Pampas floristic provinces (Sanborn et al. 2011a).
