Coptoprepes nahuelbuta Ramírez, 2003: 85 (female holotype and male paratype from Chile, Malleco province, Nahuelbuta Natl. Park, in AMNH, not reexamined).

Diagnosis: Females are similar to C. recinto n. sp. by having the epigynal median field hidden in the epigastric furrow, but can be distinguished by the rounded, elevated posterior epigynal margin (Fig. 2 b, c). Males are similar to those of C. contulmo n. sp. in having a long and curved RTA and a large, heavily sclerotized secondary conductor, but can be distinguished from this and other species by the long, slender median apophysis (Fig. 2 d; Ramírez 2003: fig. 38A–D).

Description: Male and female described by Ramírez (2003).

Distribution: Forests in southern Chile, in Malleco and Aisén provinces, probably also in intermediate localities.
