Lasiochilus galateae Reuter, 1884: 16 .

Diagnostic characters: Measurements, see Table IV. Male: Characterized by the following combination of characters: head black, pronotum dark brown; hemelytra and underside of body, pale brown; antennal segment II thick, slightly longer than length of head; antennal segments (I:II:III:IV) 1: 2.6: 2.1: 2.1; head short, not so prolonged anteriorly ( Fig. 107 View FIGURES 107–112 ), hemelytra covered by short pilosity; forefemora long, not very thick; foretibiae armed with row of long spines on inner margin ( Fig. 108 View FIGURES 107–112 ), pads medium sized, ostiolar peritreme opening not acute apically; meso- and metasternum not sulcate medially, the last elongate apically ( Fig. 109 View FIGURES 107–112 ); a few small, slender copulatory spines ( Fig. 110 View FIGURES 107–112 ); left paramere linear, nearly straight, pygophore with a very short prominence beneath left paramere ( Fig. 111 View FIGURES 107–112 ); aedeagus armed without two lateral and subapical feather-like structures. Female: With parietovaginal gland inapparent, seventh sternite with small punctures centrally ( Fig. 112 View FIGURES 107–112 ). Antennal segments (I:II:III:IV) 1: 2.4: 2.8: 2.8.

Distribution: Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador. Collections in Paraguay and Peru represent new distributional records. ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 48–49 ).

Discussion: This species is easily distinguishable by its coloration. Its left paramere is similar to that of D. punctipennis , but that on the latter species is slightly shorter and slightly sinuate basally, and while the pygophore has a very short prominence beneath the left paramere.
