Fifth instar larva, gall and biology unknown.

Host plant. Adults have been collected on ¯owers of Schinus molle .

Distribution. Chile (Region I), Peru (Tacna).

Material examined. HOLOTYPE, l Chile: Region I, Province Tarapaca Â, Parcelas de Chaca , 1.xi.1993, on ¯owers of Schinus molle (J. E. Barriga) , dry mounted ( MHNS).

PARATYPES. Chile: 7, l 9 m, same data as holotype . Peru: 1 m, Tacna, Calientes, 10.ii.1994 (L. E. PenÄ a). Dry and slide mounted ( MHNG, MHNS, NHMB) .

Comment. The species di ers from other species by the presence of very long setae on the vertex, by the elongate male subgenital plate and the styliform parameres.
