This species was not reported from Argentina by Knight & Stone (1977) nor by Lane (1953). It was listed under the name Wyeomyia quasiluteoventralis Theobald by Castro et al. 1959 (1960) and Duret (1951c, 1952), however that taxon was synonymized under luteoventralis by Belkin (1968). Another species erroneously identifief as this species was Wyeomyia scotinomus (Dyar & Knab) by Duret (1951c). The error was corrected by Duret (1952) and noted by Castro 1959 (1960) (Mitchell and Darsie, 1985).
