Collected on 19 October 2004 and 19 October 2005; small freshwater stream with sandy bottom (18 ° 47924.70 S, 69 ° 05917.60 W), two shallow ponds (18 ° 519430 S, 69 ° 07959.30 W and 18 ° 47934.60 S, 69 ° 05927.70 W) with muddy bottom; 4180 m a. s. l.; coll. Rodrigo Scheihing. Type locality Salar de Surire, Chilean high Andean Plateau (18 ° 47924.70 S, 69 ° 05917.60 W). Etymology The specific epithet refers to the Centro de Estudios Científicos where two of us (R. S. and P. L.) work, and to the type locality where the species was found. Female Habitus (Figure 1 A, B) tapering posteriorly; total body length measured from tip of rostrum to posterior margin of caudal rami ranging from 680 to 820 Mm (mean 737 mm, n 518; holotype 740 mm). Rostrum defined at base, triangular, with pair of setules subapically and ornamented with small spinules distally on ventral surface. Cephalic shield (Figure 1 A, B) with small, fine spinules along margin dorsally and laterally. Dorsal and lateral surface of free thoracic somites (P 2 – P 4 - bearing somites) with transverse rows of minute spinules, with longitudinal row of small spinules close to posterior margin and with long spinules along posterior margin (Figure 2 A – C). Dorsal and lateral surface of first urosomite (P 5 - bearing somite) with transverse rows of minute spinules, with row of small spinules close to posterior margin and with long spinules along posterior margin (Figure 2 D). Genital double-somite with subcuticular rib dorsally and laterally indicating former division between second and third urosomites (Figure 1 A, B), but completely fused ventrally (Figure 3 B); dorsal and lateral surface of second and third urosomite (first and second genital somites) with transverse rows of minute spinules, with row of long spinules along posterior margin (Figure 2 E, F), and with relatively longer spinules laterally, ventrally with spinules as figured (Figure 3 B). Fourth and fifth urosomites as in previous somite dorsally, ventrally with spinular pattern (Figure 3 B). Dorsal surface of anal somite (Figures 1 A, B, 2 J) with transverse rows of spinules and with dorsolateral strong spinules close to joint with caudal rami (Figure 3 I, J); rounded anal operculum furnished with two rows of strong spinules. Caudal rami (Figures 1 A, B, 2 I, J, 3 D) nearly as long as wide; dorsal and ventral surface smooth, except for spinules close to posterior margin; with seven elements. Antennule (Figure 3 A) six-segmented; surface of segments smooth except for two rows of spinules on first segment. Armature formula, 1 - (1), 2 - (10), 3 - (6), 4 - (1 + [1 + ae]), 5 - (1), 6 - (9 + [1 + ae]). Antenna (Figure 4 A) with small coxa. Allobasis armed with two abexopodal setae. Free endopodal segment ornamented with inner strong spinules proximally and subdistally; with two lateral inner spines and a slender seta and five distal elements (Figure 4 C). Exopod one-segmented; about five times longer than wide; with few spinules, and with one lateral and two apical setae (Figure 4 B). Mandible (Figure 4 D) robust; chewing edge with two bicuspidate teeth, four multicuspidate teeth, one pyriform element and one lateral seta. Palp one-segmented, with two setae unequal in length and one small seta arising nearby. Maxillule (Figure 4 E) robust; arthrite of praecoxa with few spinules, with one surface seta, seven distal spines and one lateral strong seta, the latter spinulose. Coxa with some spinules and with two slender setae. Basis with some median spinules. Homology of the setae on basis, exopod and endopod difficult to assess. Basis seemingly with three apical and two lateral setae, endopod and exopod seemingly represented by three and one seta, respectively. Maxilla (Figure 4 F): syncoxa with minute spinules along inner margin; with two endites, each bearing three setae as figured. Allobasis drawn into strong claw bearing one accompanying seta. Endopod represented by three setae. Maxilliped (Figure 5 A) subchelate. Syncoxa with rows of spinules and with a small seta on inner distal corner. Basis without armature; with one anterior and one posterior longitudinal row of spinules along inner margin; with small spinules medially and subapically. Endopod drawn into long and slender claw with one accompanying small seta. P 1 (Figure 6 A): praecoxa with spinules close to joint with coxa. The latter with transverse spinule rows on anterior face, and with spinule row near outer distal corner on posterior face. Basis with inner and outer spines; with median spinule row, and with stronger spinules at base of exopod, between rami and at base of inner basal spine. Exopod three-segmented. Endopod two-segmented, reaching the middle of EXP 3. P 2 (Figure 6 B): coxa as in P 1. Basis as in P 1 except for inner spine; outer element spinelike. Exopod three-segmented and ornamented as figured; EXP 2 and 3 with inner seta. Endopod two-segmented, barely reaching beyond tip of EXP 1; ENP 1 small, slightly wider than long and with outer spinules; ENP 2 with long spinules as shown, and with one outer spine, one apical and one inner seta. P 3 (Figure 7 A): coxa as in P 2. Basis as in P 2 except for seta-like outer element. Exopod and endopod as in P 2. P 4 (Figure 7 B): coxa and basis as in P 3. Exopod three-segmented; EXP 2 with, EXP 3 without inner seta. Endopod two-segmented, barely reaching the tip of P 4 EXP 1; ENP 1 small, slightly wider than long; ENP 2 with inner and outer slender spinules and armed with two apical setae (innermost shorter). P 5 (Figure 5 B): exopod and baseoendopod fused. Baseoendopodal lobe about twice as long as exopod, with sets of spinules along inner and outer margin, with spinules at base of apical seta; with one outer, one apical, and four inner setae; relative length of setae as figured. Exopod with spinules as figured, with five setae, plus outer seta of basis. Armature formula of female P 1 – P 5 as follows: P 6 (Figure 3 C) represented by median plate in anterior half of second urosomite (first genital somite); each vestigial leg represented by one outer long and one slender inner seta. Copulatory pore in the middle of genital double-somite. Male Body (not shown) as in female except for genital double-somite (Figure 8 A, B). Rostrum (Figure 9 A) sexually dimorphic, elongate, with two lateral setules and set with small spinules apically on ventral surface. Second to fifth urosomites ornamented with spinules as figured. Anal somite and caudal rami (Figure 8 A, B) as in female. Antennule (Figure 9 A – C) six-segmented, subchirocer; last segment as in Figure 9 C and with three teeth. Armature formula difficult to define, but probably as follows 1 - (1), 2 - (9), 3 - (8), 4 - (6 + [1 + ae]), 5 - (0), 6 - (7 + [1 + ae]). Antenna, mandible, maxillule, maxilla, and maxilliped (not shown) as in female. P 1 (Figure 10 A) as in female except for inner projection of basis in the male (Figure 10 B). P 2 (Figure 10 C) as in female except for dimorphic inner spine of ENP 2, and stronger and bare outer dimorphic spines of EXP 1 – 3. P 3 exopod (Figure 11 A, B) as in female except for stronger and bare outer dimorphic spines; endopod dimorphic, three-segmented, second segment with apophysis reaching far beyond ENP 3. P 4 (Figure 11 C) as in female except for stronger outer dimorphic spines. P 5 (Figure 9 D): both legs distinct; baseoendopod and exopod fused; exopod with four setae plus basal seta; baseoendopod with three setae. P 6 (Figure 8 B) represented by a plate, without armature. Variability Females (13 females analysed). The second and third innermost setae of the P 5 baseoendopod of about the same length in four specimens; the anal operculum of one female possesses one row of spinules; the left P 4 endopod of one female possesses three instead of two setae on the last segment; the left P 3 endopod of one female possesses four instead of three setae on the last segment. Males (10 males analysed). One male was observed without spinular ornamentation on the anal operculum; the ventral spinular rows of urosomites are longer in two males; the anal operculum of one male is furnished with only one row of spinules; the inferior spinules on the anal operculum of one male are very small; one male was found with a two-segmented left exopod of P 2 (the second and third segments partially fused); the last segment of the left exopod of P 2 of one male is shorter; the left P 4 ENP 3 of one male possesses three instead of two setae and the right P 3 EXP 3 of the same animal possesses two instead of one inner setae; the outermost spine of the P 5 baseoendopod of one male is shorter; the P 5 baseoendopod of one male possesses four instead of three setae.	en	Gómez, S., Scheihing, R., Labarca, P.
