The female and last larval instar are described and illustrated based on specimens from Argentina (Buenos Aires porvince). The female is unique in the possession of a subapical tooth o each lobe of the vulvar scale, and it can be besides distinguished from P. andromeda, the other only Phyllogomphoides sp. found in Argentina, by the pterothoracic colour pattern. The larva differs from all known South American Phyllogomphoides larvae by the crenate inner margin of the labial palp.
