First flagellomere orange, round- ed laterally, gradually tapered, with eight flagellomeres (Fig. 1 D). Maxillary palpus pruinose orange-rufous, onethird of head height; first segment rounded, with long orange-rufous setulae; second segment 3 X length of first, spatulate, with abundant long orange-rufous setulae. Proboscis brown with yellow-black setulae; labellum large, fleshy, one-half head height (Fig. 1 D). Thorax. Scutum orange-rufous, bearing abundant long orange-rufous setulae (Fig. 1 B).

038BBD16FFDA0448FC01FE102873FD71.taxon	discussion	Remarks: The male terminalia of P. vulpes shows similarities to some Australian species, such as P. albolineatus Hardy, P. fascipennis Mackerras & Fuller P. kippsi Mackerras & Fuller, and P. nigripennis Ricardo, particularly in the shape of the gonostylus (pointed at apex and abruptly expanded at base) and in the development and orientation of the hooks of the aedeagus (Mackerras & Fuller, 1942, Nagatomi, 1984). The genitalia of P. vulpes does not exhibit any morphological similarity with the other species of Chilean distribution, which are currently included in the genus Coenura (González et al., 2023). Geographic distribution: Chile (Región Metropolitana de Santiago to Región de Los Ríos) (Fig. 3).	en	González, Christian R.
