Macrochiridothea aff. lilianae View in CoL . — Jaramillo, 1982: 185, fig. 8.

Material. Mehuín and Muicolpué, Chile, IZUA (11 specimens, 9.3–11.7 mm).

Diagnosis. Total body length of male 11.7 mm. Dorsal surface of head, pereon and pleotelson smooth. Lateral lobes on head rounded. Coxa 6 reaching posteriorly to pleonite 3. Antenna 1 peduncle, article 2 without anterodistal prolongation.

Distribution. Mehuín and Muicolpué, Chile, 39°S–41°S.

Remarks. Jaramillo (1982) briefly diagnosed a Chilean species similar to the Brazilian species, M. lilianae . He did not specify what he saw as the differences from M. lilianae . The male was illustrated in dorsal and lateral view, plus the antenna 1, pereopod 1 and appendix masculina. The male of this Chilean species is twice as long as the Brazilian M.lilianae , the head is relatively broader and it possesses a longer coxa 6.
