(1Ψ, 1 immature). Salta: San Ramón de la Nueva Orán – Río Blanco (22°57'53.7''S, 64°21'51.3''W), 10- V-2007, on Nicotiana tabacum (1Ψ).
Previous records. Argentina [Tucumán (Furtado et al. 2007)], Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Egypt, Hawaii, Honduras, Philippines, Peru (Guanilo et al. in press), Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, USA and Venezuela.
Remarks. Measurements of females collected in this study generally agree with those mentioned by Moraes & McMurtry (1983) for the holotype, except that their seta j3 and Sge IV are approximately 1.3 times longer. We consider that the specimens identified by Furtado et al. (2007) as P. cannaensis (Muma) are actually P. ovatus.
