Argentine Argyrotaenia (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): Synopsis and descriptions of two new species
2004
Trematerra, Pasquale | Brown, John W.
We present descriptions, redescriptions, and/or diagnoses of the four species of Argyrotaenia reported from Argentina: A. pomililiana, new species, from Neuquén and Buenos Aires provinces; A. tucumana, new species, from Tucumán; A. loxonephes (Meyrick), apparently endemic to Argentina; and A. sphaleropa (Meyrick) and its junior synonym, A. fletcheriella (Köhler), a widespread species of the New World tropics. We provide images of the adults and illustrations of the male and female genitalia. We also present host records from an unpublished manuscript by the noted Argentine lepidopterist, José A. Pastrana. We briefly discuss the previous erroneous report of A. citrana (Fernald) from South America.
