Coptoprepes flavopilosus Simon, 1884: 137 (male holotype from Chile, Cabo de Hornos, in MHNP 6672, not reexamined); 1887: E25, 1897: 97, 102 (fulvopilosus, lapsus); 1902: 29. Tullgren, 1901: 245, 260. Merian, 1913: 12. Ramírez, 1995: 366, 369; 2003: 81; 2007: 597.

Diagnosis: Females are easily distinguished from those of other Coptoprepes by the lateral curved ridges on the epigyne ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 b; see Ramírez 2003: fig. 36 D). Males resemble those of C. casablanca n. sp. by having a curved RTA and relatively short embolus, with the tegulum visible in ventral view, but differ by having a median apophysis with wide base and sinuous projection (see Ramírez 2003: fig. 37, Ramírez 2007: fig. 5).

Description: Male and female described in Ramírez (2003).

Distribution: Forests in southern Argentina and Chile, from Osorno to Tierra del Fuego.
