Abstract

A remarkable new genus and species of Clivinematini is described. The holotype was collected in Península Valdés, Chubut Province, Argentina. Phylogenetic affinities and some biogeographical notes are discussed. Photographs and a key to known Argentinean genera and species of Clivinematini are provided.
