Distribution.

ARGENTINA: Catamarca, Tucumán ( Ohaus 1913, 1918, 1934b, Blackwelder 1944, Machatschke 1972, Krajcik 2008, Soula 2010a, 2011).

Types.

1 lectotype and 1 paralectotype at ZMHB ( Soula 2010a). An exemplar specimen is shown in Figure 29 View Figure 29 .

Remarks.

Ohaus (1913) described Homonyx chalceus ssp. uruguayanus , Homonyx chalceus ssp. santiagensis , and Homonyx chalceus var. fuscocupreus . Thus, in the context of this publication, it is unambiguous that Homonyx chalceus var. fuscocupreus is infrasubspecific and should be interpreted in this manner. Some publications have treated the taxon as a subspecies ( Homonyx chalceus fuscocupreus ) according to ICZN Article 45.6.4.1, thus making this species-group name available. Homonyx fuscocupreus was elevated to species status by Soula (2011). Krajcik (2012, 2013) considered H. fuscocupreus to be a subspecies of H. chalceus .
