Distribution.

Argentina, Chile (Regions IX–XII).

Host plants.

Misodendrum linearifolium DC., M. punctulatum Banks ex DC. ( Misodendraceae ).

Comment.

Zonopelma australis was described from Southern Argentina and Far Southern Chile (XII Region) but without host data ( Burckhardt 1987a). Here we provide host data and add new localities from Chile (Regions X–XII). Zonopelma contains a second species ( Z. myzodendri Burckhardt) which occurs in southern Chile on Misodendrum punctulatum . A third species from Paraguay, viz. Zonopelma borealis Burckhardt, develops on mimosoid Fabaceae . Extensive material collected on Mimosa spp. in Brazil is closely related to Z. borealis but not congeneric with Z. australis , the type species of Zonopelma (Burckhardt and Queiroz, unpublished data).
