fuscus ( James, 1973b) (paratypes, Figs 12–17 )

Antissa fusca James, 1973b: 16 ; 15 (in key).

Holotype: male ( CEUC = UMCE, currently in MEUC). Type locality: Chile, Santiago Province, Quebrada de la Plata, Rinconada, Maipú , 30º31’S, 70º47’W. Distr.: Metropolitana Region : Santiago Province (Quebrada de la Plata, in Rinconada de Maipú ).

Comments. Of the five paratypes (one male and four females) and the allotype mentioned in the original description ( James 1973b), one female is deposited in the WSU collection (WSU No. 703; see Zack, 1984: 19) and the male and three females are currently in the CAS collection (see Figs 12–17 for one male and one female). The depository institution of the allotype remains unknown.

Antissa maculata James, 1973b: 17 ; 15 (in key); pl., fig. 4 (head).

Holotype: male ( CEUC = UMCE, currently in MEUC). Type locality: Chile, Santiago Province, Quebrada de la Plata, Rinconada, Maipú, 510 m, 33º31’S, 70º47’W [locality label of the specimen reads 30º31’S 70º47’W, which are not the correct coordinates].

Ref.: Woodley, 2001: 77 (cat., as Cyanauges ).

Comments. Of the 17 paratypes (one male and 16 females) and the allotype mentioned in the original description ( James 1973b), two females are deposited in the WSU collection (WSU No. 704; see Zack, 1984: 19) and the male and five females are currently in the CAS collection (see Figs 18–27 for one male and two females). Two additional females with the same collection data as the allotype were not designated as paratypes. The depository institution of the allotype and of the remaining nine paratypes are still unknown.
