Spercheus halophilus n. sp. is described together with its egg case and larval stages. This
is the second Neotropical species for the genus. Comparative notes with adults
of related species are included: S. halophilus seems closely related to S.
fimbriicollis Bruch, 1915 and S. spangleri Hebauer, 1990. Larvae of S.
halophilus show several important differences when compared with those of S.
emarginatus (Schaller, 1783) and S. cerisyi Guérin-Meneville, 1842,
most of them related to the mouthparts. This species lives in temporary pools
of water gathered at the margins of roads running through a large salt flat in
Central Argentina. Notes on the biology of this species are also included.
