Resumen:
We describe a new species of the genus Aposto2epi.s based on h i 7 0 specimens from
the city of Posadas, Misiones province, northeastern Argentina. The new species is easily distinguished
from its congeners by the highest number of ventrals known in the genus (male: 269,
female: 276); the nasal separated from the preoctilar by the prefrontal; temporals 0 + 1;the black
head with large white blotches on the snout; the dorsal coloration reddish brown with broad lateral
black stripe from the fifth row of dorsals to the lateral third of the ventrals, and the white ncichal
ring two to three scales long, and posteriorly edged by a black band. Additional comments on the
other species of the genus and their distribution in Argentina are given.
