Comments. The first and only identification key for the species from Chile was provided by Nagatomi & Nagatomi (1987). This key does not work very well for several specimens, because the authors did not have a lot of material at hand and could not evaluate the extant variation within each species. The Brazilian species can be determined using the key given by Fachin et al. (2020).
