Savatieria meridionalis (Smith, 1881) Fig. 5H

Material examined.

1 spm (5 × 2 mm).

Synonymy.

See Dell (1972).

Remarks.

Dell (1972) explained that seven species of the genus Savatieria have been described for the Magellan Region and the Malvinas/Falkland Islands. However, this genus is not well studied, and the Magellanic species are slightly different and not well represented in collections ( Dell 1972).

Distribution.

Magellanic: Strait of Magellan ( Smith 1881): Punta Santa María (this record) and Carlos III Island ( Aldea et al. 2011a) and Cape Valentín ( Strebel 1905b); Beagle Channel ( Osorio 1999), Fortescue Bay ( Strebel 1905b), Puerto Angosto ( Strebel 1905b), Basket Island ( Strebel 1905b), Puerto Eugenia ( Strebel 1905b), and Picton Island ( Strebel 1905b); Santa Cruz ( Castellanos 1979) and Malvinas/Falkland Islands ( Strebel 1905b, 1908) in Port Stanley ( Strebel 1905b).
