Abstract

A new species of the subgenus Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) Kieffer without distinctive pigmented wings is described and illustrated based on males and females: A. (A.) rufiventris. Atrichopogon (A.) eucnemus Macfie and A. (A.) woodfordi Macfie are redescribed and illustrated from specimens collected in several provinces of Argentina. This is the first record of those species from Argentina.
