Note.

Moldenke (1981), divided Babia into six subgenera based on morphological features, such as the general shape of the body, pronotal margin, frons and antennomere morphology: Babia (Babia) Chevrolat and B. (Archaebabia) Moldenke from America north of Mexico; Babia (Coleolacordairei) Moldenke, Babia (Heterobabia) Moldenke, and Babia (Megababia) Moldenke from the Neotropical region. Only the monotypic B. (Coleolacordairei) is represented in Argentina.
