Holotype: female (no type specimens found in MNNC, MNHN, NHMUK, NMPC, or OUMNH, presumably lost; see Discussion), Chile, close to Corral. Dist. : Chile. Región de Los Ríos: Valdivia Province (close to Corral). Argentina: Tucumán Province (El Infiernillo; see Hardy, 1953).

Refs.: Hunter, 1900: 297 (cat); Kertész, 1902: 155 (cat.); Edwards, 1930: 78 (com.); Hardy, 1945: 392 (in key), 419–420 (redes., dist.), 532–533 (male gen., figs. 154a–c); Stuardo, 1946: 60 (cat., as incertae sedis); Hardy, 1953 (subspecies nigra argentina): 350 (in key), 353–355 (des., dist.), 352 (male gen., fig. 4a); Hardy, 1957: 238 (com.); Hardy, 1959: 449 (cat.); Hardy, 1966: 4 (cat.); Fitzgerald, 1998: 141 (com., male gen.); Camousseight, 2005: 89 (com.).

Comments: It is necessary to check the taxonomic status of the proposed Argentinian subspecies. The distributional areas are quite different, as the nominal subspecies is distributed in a rainy temperate habitat and the Argentinian subspecies was described for an arid high Andean environment.
