Comments. Bernardi (1973: 245) cited this species as distributed in Peru, and Chile (from Tarapacá to Maule). We consider this geographic distribution as erroneous, as for this species there is not any record for northern regions in Chile (from Region of Arica y Parinacota to Region of Coquimbo), nor any other record from Peru.
