Comments. In the original description of this species, Lindner (1943: 96) had three males and one female from Chiloé Province , Olmué, and one female from Concepción Province , subsequently followed by James (1975a) . Woodley (1995: 120) ’s lectotype designation established Chiloé Province , Olmué as the type locality. But it is clear that this is an error in the locality information because Olmué is a city in the region of Valparaíso ( Marga Marga Province ), over 1,000 km away, up in the north, from the Chiloé Province . It is probable that the type locality is somewhere in the Chiloé Province , as Lindner placed the species in that locality on his map.
