Bittacus froehlichi is another species with maculated wings, and for this reason it was placed in the “group chilensis ” by Collucci & Amorim (2000). Besides B. froehlichi, the authors also included in this group B. andinus Londt & Byers, B. chilensis Klug and B. maculosus Byers, and also discussed the similarities among their male terminalia, but demonstrated that the shape of the epandrium was different in each species (Collucci & Amorim 2000).
