PESSACQ, Pablo. Current knowledge of Patagonian Plecoptera. Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2009, vol.68, n.1-2, pp.169-175. ISSN 0373-5680.

The current knowledge of the Patagonian Plecoptera is due to the work by J. Illies during last Century's 50`s and 60`s , as well as to intermitent previous and posterior contributions. This knowledge is reasonable for the northern and central Patagonian Andes, and poor for the southernmost mountain areas (Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego provinces) and the steppe. New records are provided from Argentina. A list of the 83 species and 37 genera of Patagonian Plecoptera is given, out of which 47 species belonging to 28 genera are known to occur in Argentina.

Palabras clave : Plecoptera; Patagonia; Biodiversity.
