Treatment

Rhectomia catarina Gonçalves, 2010 ( Fig. 4C, D View Figure 4 )

Material examined (1♀): 1♀, Argentina, Entre Ríos, Quinta Arco Iris (Is. del Ibicuy), (33°47′00″S, 58°33′01″W, 7 msnm), 29-30/XII/2011. Col. Jensen, R., Lutz, A.

Distribution: Brazil: Santa Catarina ( GonÇalves, 2010). Argentina: Entre Ríos. New record.

Remarks: This is the first record of genus and species from Argentina. Rhectomia catarina is very similar to R. pumilla Moure, 1947 , from which it differs by the length of the mesoscutal median line, which in R. catarina reaches the middle portion of the sclerite ( Fig. 4D View Figure 4 ) ( GonÇalves, 2010).
