| Sumario: | Notes are provided on the morphology of males and females of the enigmatic <i>Lithurgus huberi</i> Ducke (Lithurginae: Lithurgini), a species historically believed to have been introduced into South America from Asia and to be a possible synonym of the more widespread <i>L. atratus</i> Smith. Distinctive differences are documented between <i>L. huberi</i> and <i>L. atratus</i>, perhaps indicative of separate species. In addition, we provide new records of <i>L. huberi</i> in Argentina and Paraguay. |
