Description

Alarcta bahiensis (Torres, 1942)

Tettigades bahiensis Torres 1942: 256 (type material examined).

Type locality. The holotype male does not have a locality label. However, an allotype (sic) male and the paratype males were all collected at Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Since there is no mention of a female specimen in the description, the listing of an allotype is considered a lapsus calami. The type locality is thus Bahia Blanca.

Remarks. The species has only been reported from the type locality in Buenos Aires Province (Torres 1942; 1958d). We collected specimens in Buenos Aires, Chubut, and Neuquén Provinces. The species is associated with the Espinal, Monte, and Pampas floristic provinces (Sanborn et al. 2011a).

New provincial records. Chubut, Puerto Madryn, 28-XI-1986, M.S. Heath & Al Sanborn Coll., EX: Sand dunes (10 males, MSHC, one male, AFSC); Chubut, Puerto Madryn, 29-XI-1986, M.S. Heath & Al Sanborn Coll. (two males, MSHC); Chubut, Puerto Madryn, 6-XII-1986, M.S. Heath & Al Sanborn Coll. (eight males, MSHC).
