ResumoIn the early 1970s, a species similar to A. cinericia was collected in Guarapuava municipality (51º27'29''W, 25º23'44''S), Paraná State, Brazil, by Hipólito Schneider and published by Dolibaina et al. (2011).However, a more detailed analysis revealed that the above species was not in fact A. cinericia (Siewert et al. in press), which continues then unrecorded in Brazil.On 27 November 2012, three male and two female specimens of A. cinericia were recorded for the first time in Brazil, at Fundação Maronna, Alegrete municipality (55º42'58''W, 30º07'12''S), Rio Grande do Sul State, South Brazil.The area is located at the Pampa biome and is a transitional zone between forest and grasslands, a mixture of grassland with scattered shrubs.The individuals were collected on the bottom of a forested valley, at a forest edge, between 9 and 10 h and 18 h.The specimens are deposited at "Coleção de Lepidoptera do Departamento de Zoologia" (CLDZ), Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, under the codes CLDZ 8227, CLDZ 8228, CLDZ 8229, CLDZ 8230 and CLDZ 8231.Other records in South America were found in Buenos Aires (a single specimen in Museo Argentino Ciencias Naturales "Bernardino Rivadavia" (MACN), Buenos Aires, Argentina), Corrientes (specimens at Instituto Miguel Lillo (IML), Tucumán and Museo de la Plata (MLP), Buenos Aires province) and Entre Ríos provinces, Argentina and, in more recent years (December 1995), in Parque Nacional El Palmar (nearby Arroyo Los Loros) (58º19'W , 31º51'S) , located between the Colón and Concordia towns, Entre Ríos province, Argentina.On 4 December 2008, one male specimen was registered in Liebig (near Colón, Entre Ríos province) (58º15'W , 32º07'S) and observed on a xerophytic habitat, in the ecotone between grasslands and xeric trees vegetation (Fig. 5).It is possibly that flies in Misiones province and Paraguay too (Klimaitis & Núñez Bustos, in press).
