Tettigotoma maculata Torres, 1942

Tettigotoma maculata Torres 1942: 254 (type material examined).

Type locality. The holotype male was described without locality data.

Remarks. The species is known only from Argentina ( Metcalf 1963c). Torres (1942) lists an allotype (sic) male collected at “Pampa Central”. Metcalf (1963c) took this to mean La Pampa Province but the Pampas floristic province extends over several provinces ( Cabrera 1971; Sanborn et al. 2011a). Specific location data were provided by Torres (1948b) with specimens being reported from Córdoba and Mendoza Provinces. We collected specimens in Mendoza Province. We found the species associated with the Monte floristic province ( Sanborn et al. 2011a) suggesting the “ allotype ” was collected on the western edge of the “Central Pampa” and not in La Pampa Province.
