Two new species of Trigonogenius (Coleoptera: Ptinidae: Ptininae) from Northwest Argentina and a revision of the Argentinian species
Two new species in the genus Trigonogenius are described from Argentina. The fauna of this country now includes five species with a new record for T. squalidus. Diagnoses and photos of all species found in Argentina are given. Some morphological traits, including the prosternum shape and elytral pattern and color, are compared between South American species. The status of the specific names globulus, globosus and squalidus are discussed.
