Comments

None of the new records mentioned by Pall and Coscarón (2012) is new, as demonstrated above.

Final remarks

Pall and Coscarón (2012) mentioned Harmostes re fl exus viscens [sic] (Dallas) from many provinces in Argentina. However, this is not a valid name and we assume that in fact they are referring to Harmostes re fl exulus (Say) because we have found in the MLP collection two specimens of this species from Mexico and USA (Arizona) labelled as Harmostes re fl exulus virescens Dallas. Because the list of studied material in Pall and Coscarón (2012) mentioned only provinces and localities, it is impossible to track the specimens they referred to; we have studied specimens from some of the localities they mentioned, but they belong to other species.
