All five authors are responsible for the new genus name. TS first identified this new genus, and both ARP and JMC + BJS independently studied separate series. SEB recently discovered the New Zealand species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/39111C03A12CEC2CDC02D886B9BBDB49	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mid tibia with posteroventral row of apically-directed stout setae. Apex of hind tibia broadly expanded with posteroapical comb.</p><p>Wing (Fig. 4): Length 1.2-1.5 mm. Erect costal setae less conspicuous than in Gondwanamyia zealandica; faint subapical vein streaks present, representing veins M1 and M2.</p><p>Abdomen: Two pairs of posterior setae on male sternite 8 short and slender. Male terminalia (Fig. 6): Cercus slender, apical half narrow and parallel-sided, bearing short, slender setae. Hypandrium + epandrium mostly membranous; slender epandrial lobe anterior, parallel with cercus, lacking setae, apex of lobes united medially; base of lobe and cercus continuous as dark, slender sclerite arching posteriorly to articulate with base of hypandrium. Hypandrium sheath-like, encircling base of phallus; gonocoxal apodeme slender, arched posteriorly, arising along interior of hypandrial sheath. Phallus with elongate apical filament, 3 × longer than length of hypandrial sheath; ejaculatory apodeme rod-shaped, with expanded apex, articulated at base of phallus.</p><p>Female. Similar to male, except posteroventral row of stout setae on mid femur and tibia absent. See genus description for details of female terminalia (Figs 8, 9).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species name refers to the country of the type locality.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species is confined to southern Chile (Fig. 11) where it is found in mostly damp temperate Nothofagus habitats from lowlands to tree line. All specimens were collected with yellow pan traps, except the Newton &amp; Thayer sample, which was collected with a flight-intercept trap.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/107D11B87AE44E18B047841DDBAF05D4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
