P.S. AFAICS from sh -x this equvalents to:
ifconfig lo0 inet 192.168.193.193/32 -alias
ifconfig lo0 inet 192.168.193.193 delete

$ sudo ifconfig lo0 inet 192.168.193.193/32 -alias
$ ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
$ sudo ifconfig lo0 inet 192.168.193.193 delete
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address
