Here, we report a noteworthy new record of this species from the Chaco Serrano ecosystem in central Argentina, marking its southernmost occurrence in the country. A brief morphological description and illustrations are provided. Additionally, we plotted the species from Argentina records on map, and the distribution of the species in the country is discussed.
