Coptoprepes valdiviensis Ramírez, 2003

Diagnosis. Werenkraut & Ramírez (2009: 9)

Description. Ramírez (2003: 90)

New records. ARGENTINA: Tierra del Fuego: Ushuaia : Tierra del Fuego Natl. Park, turbal SW de Laguna Negra, 17 km WSW de Ushuaia, 8 m, S54.84814° W68.59558°, pitfall trap, 03–11.XII.2012, M.J. Ramírez, C.J. Grismado, A. Ojanguren & E.M. Soto, 1♂ (MACN-Ar 29882 temporary preparation MLB 04089) . CHILE: Región X (Los Lagos): Llanquihue : Alerce Andino Natl. Park, 25.31 km E Puerto Montt, 120 m, S41.46700° W72.65000°, 15.III.2008, H. Wood & C. Griswold, 1♀ (CASENT 9027973).

Genetic barcoding. We were able to sequence specimens of both sexes (male MACN-Ar 29882, female CASENT 9027973); they have identical sequences, even when they come from distant localities ( Fig. 5 , Table 1 ). The divergence from the nearest neighbor, a female of C. flavopilosus (MACN-Ar 29569), is 5.94%. This result supports the matching of the sexes assigned in Ramírez (2003) for this species.
