Types.

The following specimens are deposited at CCECL. 1 ♂ holotype, 1 ♀ allotype, 4 ♂ paratypes, 1 ♀ paratype, 1 invalid ♀ allotype: "Iguazu Misiones (Arg.) coll. - SOULA//Holotype 2006 Strigidia gracilis wagneri Sou. Soula" (47030304); "Puerto Iguazu-ARG XII/88//Allotype 2006 Strigidia gracilis wagneri Sou. Soula" (47030305); "Puerto Iguazu (Arg.) coll. - SOULA [obverse] 11/89//Invalid ♀ Allotype probable paratype of P. gracilis wagneri Soula det. M. R. 2014//Allotype 2006 Strigidia gracilis wagneri S. Soula" (47030306); Two paratypes with identical label data "Puerto Iguazu (Arg.) coll. - SOULA [obverse] 11/87//Paratype 2006 Strigidia gracilis wagneri Sou. Soula" (47030310 and 47030311); Two paratypes with identical label data "Iguazu Misiones (Arg.) coll. - SOULA//Paratype 2006 Strigidia gracilis wagneri Sou. Soula" (47030307 and 47030308); "Iguazu Misiones (Ar.) coll. - SOULA//Paratype 2006 Strigidia gracilis wagneri Sou. Soula" (47030309). Genitalia card-mounted underneath the male holotype and four male paratypes. Box 4618659 SOULA.

Remarks.

The female allotype specimen labeled from "Puerto Iguazu (Arg.)" is not the valid allotype specimen. Soula (2006) did not report the exact label data and number of paratypes for this species. However, the holotypes and allotypes were typically arranged side-by-side in his collection. The invalid allotype female was not directly next to the holotype male. Additionally, the invalid allotype has a red type label that is a slightly different color. We labeled this specimen as a probable paratype.
