Aequcephalus gramineus DeLong & Thambimuttu View in CoL

( Figs. 11 View FIGUIRE 11 , 15 View FIGUIRE 15 )

Aequcephalus gramineus DeLong & Thambimuttu, 1973: 172 View in CoL [original description, morphology, illustration]; Linnavuori & DeLong, 1977: 199, 200 265, 266 [key, distribution, morphology, male described and illustrated]; Zanol, 2008: 3 [catalogue]; Zahniser, 2007 [online catalogue]; Freytag & Gaiani, 2017 [online catalogue]

Diagnosis. A. gramineus can be distinguished from A. laplata by the characters in the key above.

Material examined. Holotype ♀ [ OSUC]: Chile, Santiago Prov., 19 km W. Padre Hurtado, 14.X.1967, L. & C. O’Brien.

Distribution. Known from Chile (Santiago Prov. and provisionally from Quillota Prov.)

Remarks. Linnavuori & DeLong (1977) described and illustrated a male and ascribed it to this species. It is listed from “Cerro Robles, P. Santiago ”; this appears to refer to Cerro El Roble, in what is now Marga Marga Prov. in the Valparaíso Region, bordering on the Santiago Metropolitan Region. The OSUC collection was searched for this specimen, but it was not found. This locality is approximately 75km north of the type locality of the species. It is uncertain if the association of this male with the female holotype is correct, but is accepted provisionally at this time. More collecting is needed to confidently associate males with the female type.
