We are honoured to name this species after the Late Dr Evert I. Schlinger, mentor and collector of many specimens belonging to the genus Argolepida. Comments. Argolepida schlingeri sp. n. is extensively covered in adpressed scale-like setae and is similar to A. patagonia sp. n., differing mostly in having hyaline wings and the shield-like shape of the female frontal glabrous patch. This species is distributed along the Western slopes of the Andes in Northern Argentina; it overlaps in distribution with P. rivulosa and P. telteca sp. n. Type material.
