Abstract. A new species of the Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) argenteola group, F. (F.) donatoi, is described and illustrated from male and female collected in several localities of northern Argentina and in Paraguay. The new species is compared with their similar congeners F. (F.) marini and F. (F.) uramaensis, both from Venezuela. The following three species: Forcipomyia (F.) argenteola, F. (F.) calatheae and F. (F.) quatei are firstly recorded from Argentina, and a key is presented for the identification of the seven Neotropical species of the group.
