The especies is mentioned for the first time for Argentina, Misiones province, under the name Teleonemia albomarginata by Drake and Poor (1939). Champion (1897-1901) developed a key to recognize Teleonemia tricolor (under the synonymy Teleonemia albomarginata ) from some other species of Teleonemia , in the same contribution the species is illustrated. Teleonemia tricolor is also illustrated in Drake (1931) under the synonymy Teleonemia dispersa and photographed under the synonymy Teleonemia lanceolata in Drake and Hambleton (1938) and Silva (1956).
