The nominal genus Bosqia Canals 1933 is determined to be junior subjective synonym of Pachyloides Holmberg 1878. This results in the new combination Pachyloides tucumanus (Canals 1933) for the only species hitherto assigned to Bosqia, and in a secondary homonymy with Pachyloides tucumanus Canals 1943. For the latter, the new name Pachyloides yungarum is proposed. The article provides a redescription of Pachyloides tucumanus (Canals 1933) new combination, including the male external and genital morphology (previously unknown). New records of the species are also reported.
