Observations
correntina Ronderos & Díaz, in Ronderos et al., 2004: 194 (male, female, pupa). Type locality: Argentina, Corrientes, Gobernador Virasoro, 28°2'12.13"S, 56°0'53.04"W. HT M (MLPA). Distr. Argentina (Corrientes: type locality). Refs.: Ronderos et al., 2004: 194.

Diagnosis. This is only Neotropical sepecies of Dasyhelea with the following combination of characters: aedeagus with stout, subparallel posteromedially directed processes with blunt apices; posterior process of parameres as long as right basal arm, distal end bent sharply ventrolaterad; spermatheca pyriform with stout, straight neck; subgenital plate arrow-shaped, without lateral projections. Pupa with a respiratory horn with 10-12 apical and 6-7 lateral spiracles.
