Comments

Pall and Coscarón (2012) overlooked records from USA and the West Indies. Tsai et al. (2013) concluded that all sub-Amazonian records of this species are apparently erroneous, and may correspond – at least in part – to J. pyrrholoma Stål 1870; they also show that the specimen photographed in Pall and Coscarón (2012) is a misidentification, probably corresponding to J. pectoralis Stål 1862 or J. parapectoralis Göllner-Scheiding 1979 . We were unable to examine any specimens confirming its occurrence in Argentina.
