One saxicolous collection from Torres del Paine is reported here as this species, which has been considered to be more northern prior to its report of being widespread in the extremely southern part of Argentina, such as Isla de los Estados ( Calvelo & Fryday 2006). These authors did not discuss this taxon vs. H. chilensis (see above), and there is an obvious need for more studies on this species pair. The species was also listed from Isla Navarino by Etayo & Sancho (2008).
