discussion
Remarks: This is the nominal species for the viridis group that was recently re-described (Pilato et al. 2007). Given the limited morphological diversity within the group, the species could easily be misidentified with other members of the complex (Pilato et al. 2007). We suggest that the South American records are reexamined using modern taxonomic criteria.
