Allocladius globosus Andersen, Saether et Mendes, 2010: 11 .

Material examined: CHILE: Región V, Rio Aconcaqua W of Las Vizhachas, 32º51.391’ S, 70º 28.668’ W, 1.096 m. a. s. l., net, holotype male, 12.xi.1998, T. Andersen ( ZMBN Type No. 423). Other material as in Andersen et al. (2010) .

Diagnostic characters: The presence of circular single pars ventralis ( Fig. 33 D–F ) about as long as wide and with setae together with the absence of an accessory lobe of the inferior volsella will separate the species from other species with pars ventralis.

The male is described in detail in Andersen et al. (2010: 11).
