Description
Summary:The nominal genus Bosqia Canals 1933 is determined to be junior subjective synonym of Pachyloides Holmberg 1878. This results in the new combination Pachyloides tucumanus (Canals 1933) for the only species hitherto assigned to Bosqia, and in a secondary homonymy with Pachyloides tucumanus Canals 1943. For the latter, the new name Pachyloides yungarum is proposed. The article provides a redescription of Pachyloides tucumanus (Canals 1933) new combination, including the male external and genital morphology (previously unknown). New records of the species are also reported. /// Se determina la sinonimia del género nominal Bosqia Canals 1933 bajo Pachyloides Holmberg 1878. Este cambio resulta en la nueva combinación Pachyloides tucumanus (Canals 1933) para la única especie hasta ahora incluida en Bosqia, así como en la homonimia secundaria con Pachyloides tucumanus Canals 1943; para esta última especie se propone el nombre nuevo Pachyloides yungarum. El artículo presenta una redescripción de Pachyloides tucumanus (Canals 1933), comb. n., incluyendo la morfología externa y genital del macho, hasta ahora desconocido. Se proporcionan nuevos registros de la especie.
