Ashish--There are another three species of Cascocelis described for Argentina, but unfortunately don´t have photos. Anyway, it seems belong to this genus.

Ashish, I've only could find these two genera for my area. Both are very alike to my spotting, but I'm not sure because the colour of the legs is slighty different.
