ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1863: 52.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Chiliae [ Chile]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype (missing right fore-leg) ( MZUN: Box without identification label): Thrichophthalma [sic!] zonalis Phil. , Chili [= Chile] / M. Zool. N° 11109 [not original labels] .

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Trichophthalma barbarossa (Bigot, 1857) ( Papavero 1968: 4) View in CoL .

REMARKS: Rondani (1863: 52) described Trichophthalma zonalis , without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material received from R.A. Philippi. Costa (1866: 36) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “818”. We also found one syntype in this study. Rondani (1863) used the name “ Thrieophthalma ” in the index (p. 98), which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Trichophthalma Westwood, 1835 ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 179).
