Abstract

The taxonomic position of the genus Notosimus Fennah, the family Acanaloniidae Amyot et Serville, 1843 is discussed and confirmed by the characters of ovipositor structure described and illustrated for the first time. Notosimus angustipennis (Melichar, 1906) is newly recorded from Cordoba Province in Central Argentina. The photos of holotype of N. angustipennis and the drawings of hind wing of this species as well as Acanalonia conica (Say, 1830) and A. pumila (Van Duzee, 1908) are given.

Key words
