It had been considered that the distribution of A. delfini includes Maule and the Magellanic forest biogeographical provinces (Morrone & Roig-Juñent 1995, 2000). However, Elgueta (2000) considered that A. delfini is endemic to the Magellanic forest and that its records from Maulean areas are incorrect.
