Geographic distribution as in figure 12.

Specimens examined: ARGENTINA: Tierra del Fuego, PN Tierra del Fuego, Arroyo Los Castores, II–26 / 28–1997, Posadas & Ocampo col. (4 specimens with same data MLP); Ushuaia, Valle Andorra, XI–18–1984, Sobral col. (MLP).

Temporal distribution: November to February.

Plant association: Several specimens associated with Nothofagus View in CoL forests or collected on Nothofagus View in CoL and Gunnera View in CoL .

It had been considered that the distribution of A. delfini includes Maule and the Magellanic forest biogeographical provinces ( Morrone & Roig-Juñent 1995, 2000). However, Elgueta (2000) considered that A. delfini is endemic to the Magellanic forest and that its records from Maulean areas are incorrect.
