Abstract

Data text: Pelecinobaccha was reviewed by Miranda et al. (2014), where the species Pelecinobaccha portachueloi Miranda, 2014 in Miranda et al. 2014 was described based on a single male. Further study of material deposited at the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids and Nematodes (CNC) revealed a female specimen that keys out and fits the description of the male of P. portachueloi and is from the same locality (Miranda et al., 2014). This short note aims on describing the female and imaging it (Figs. 1–7). Terminology follows Miranda et al. (2020).
