This species can be distinguished from other Chilean scarabaeoids by the absence of a true ocular canthus dividing the eye, and for having the clypeus shorter and frons armed with two elongate and obsoletes tubercles (Fig. 1B). The protibial apex is straighter and narrower (Fig. 1C). Ochodaeidae possess pectinate mesotibial spurs not found in other scarabaeoids in the region (Fig. 1D). The elytral locking mechanism consists of acute elytral apices and bituberculate propygidium.</p><p>Specimens examined. 1 female at: Chile, Arica y Parinacota, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-69.606255&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-18.315866" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -69.606255/lat -18.315866)">Zapahuira</a>, pista de aterrizaje, 18°18’57.12’’S – 69°36’22.51’’W, 3368 m, light trap, 29-III-2013, col.

A. Fierro (MNNC) .</p><p>Distribution. The native range of P. bituberculatus includes west side of Peru (Erichson 1847; Ratcliffe et al. 2015). New country record: Chile, Arica and Parinacota Region, Parinacota Province (Fig. 3).</p><p>Habitat. Parochodaeus bituberculatus was found in the mountains located east of the city of Arica in northern Chile, between 3,368–3,443 m. The native vegetation of this locality consists principally of resinous shrubs, herbaceous plants, cacti, and coarse grasses. The distribution corresponds to the Puna biogeographic province that also extends into eastern Bolivia, southern Peru, northern Argentina, and Chile (Morrone 2001) .</p><p>Remarks. Erichson (1847) described the species, but the only information given is that the specimen was from the west side of the Andes in Peru. The only recent specimens known are in the J.-B. Huchet collection in Paris, and are from Chaute, Peru at an elevation of 2,400 m (M.J. Paulsen, University of Nebraska State Museum, Lincoln, Nebraska, United States of America, personal communication).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AC734954CD4CFC144193FAA8FDF8C7C1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species can be distinguished from other Chilean tanyproctines (i.e., Chilenopilus Smith &amp; Mondaca, Myloxena Berg, and Luispenaia Martínez) by the black coloration on the head, pronotum, and legs and the elytra reddish brown (Fig. 2A). Dorsal surface covered with long and dense pubescence, tawny on head and pronotum; thorax ventrally with dense pubescence. Antennae long, with 9 antennomeres, club with 3 antennomeres. Protibia with 2 subacute, external teeth. Protibial and metatibial spurs absent (Fig. 2A). Protarsomere, mesotarsomere, and metatarsomere 5 with curved and dentate claw.</p><p>Examined material. 4 males at: Chile, La Araucanía, Lonquimay, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-71.00406&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-38.592888" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -71.00406/lat -38.592888)">Agua Enterrada</a>, 38°35’34,40’’S - 71°00’14,60’’W, 1464 m, light trap, 26-iv-2018, P . Pulgar (SAGC) .</p><p>Distribution. The native range of F. gentilii includes Argentina, in the provinces of Neuquén and Chubut (Martínez 1975, 1982) (Fig. 3). New country record: Chile, Araucanía, Malleco Province (Fig. 3).</p><p>Habitat. Specimens of F. gentilii have been collected in a semi-arid steppe environment dominated by low-elevation thorny scrub composed of shrubs of the genera Adesmia, Berberis and Mulinum, as well as a grass cover ( Stipa and Poa) typical of the Patagonian steppe. The main capture site is located east of the city of Lonquimay, 8.5 km from the border with Argentina. The distribution corresponds to the Patagonian subregion and Central Patagonian province in southern Argentina, from central Mendoza, widening through Neuquén, Río Negro, and Chubut, to northern Tierra del Fuego. In Chile, in addition to the more northerly passes in Araucanía this habitat is extensive in Aisén and Magallanes provinces (Morrone 2001).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AC734954CD4DFC164193F9C4FEC8C16D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
