Comments. In the original description, Froeschner (2000) cited one female paratype from “BRAZIL, Tafe del Valle, Quebrada la Angostura, 26-II-53, 1800m., J. Herrera (U.S. National Museum of Natural History)”. This record corresponds in fact to the locality of Tafí del Valle in the province of Tucumán, Argentina [26°56’34.50’’S 65°40’18.40’’W]. In the present contribution I add a new record of H. JOhnplOhemi extending its distribution to the north in the province of Jujuy.
