Proarna montevidensis Berg 1882

Description

Proarna montevidensis Berg, 1882

Proarna montevidensis Berg 1882: 44 (Montevideo, Uruguay).

Remarks. A specimen labeled “Typus” is deposited in the Museum f̧r Naturkunde, Berlin (personal observation). A single male from Montevideo was used in the description of the species so the specimen may be considered to be the holotype (Berg 1882). Type material was previously reported to be in the Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt Universität, Berlin (Torres 1961b).

Distribution. The species has been reported from Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013; Sanborn & Heath 2014; Nunes et al. 2023). Ruffinelli (1970) reported the species from Barra del Yucutujá and Yacaré. Ruffinelli (1970) lists Proarna capistrata Distant, 1885 as a junior synonym as proposed by Torres (1961a). However, this species from Buenos Aires Province, Argentina has since been resurrected (Sanborn & Heath 2014). The known distribution of Proarna capistrata suggests that Ruffinelli (1970) was referencing Proarna montevidensis.

Material examined. “ Montevideo / Coll. Sivori ” one female (AFSC).
