Chlorethe scabrosa Zajciw, 1963: 418; Monné, 2019a: 174 (cat.).

Chlorethe brachyptera; Monné et al., 2016a: 346, fig. 23 (distr.); Monné et al., 2016 b: 10 (distr.). (Misidentified).

Material examined: BRAZIL, [no further details]: 1 female, XII.1938, [no collector indicated] (MZSP).

Geographical distribution: Currently, C. scabrosa is known from Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul, Espírito Santo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul) and Argentina (Misiones) (Monné, 2019a).

Remarks: Chlorethe scabrosa was originally described from Brazil (Paraná and Mato Grosso [currently, Mato Grosso do Sul]). Monné et al. (2016a) and Monné et al. (2016 b) reported C. brachyptera from the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. However, the specimen figured by Monné et al. (2016a) is a male of C. scabrosa . Probably, the specimen mentioned by Monné et al. (2016 b) is the same of Monné et al. (2016a). Accordingly, C. brachyptera is excluded from the fauna of Rio de Janeiro, and C. scabrosa is reported for the first time in this state.
